The
g.gui module allows user to start the Graphical User
Interface (GUI) from the command line prompt or to change the
default User Interface (UI) settings.
GRASS GIS comes with both a wxPython-based GUI
aka wxGUI (ui=wxpython) and
command line text-based UI (ui=text).
If the
-d update flag is given or the
GRASS_GUI
environmental
variable is unset, then
the GRASS internal variable
GUI is permanently changed and
the selected
ui will be used as the default UI from then on.
All GRASS internal variables (see g.gisenv)
are stored in the user's home directory in a hidden file called
$HOME/.grass8/rc on Unix-based operating systems
and %APPDATA%\GRASS8\rc on MS Windows. Note that these GRASS
internal variables are not the shell environment variables and the
rc file is not a classic UNIX run command file, it just
contains persistent GRASS variables.
Set default user interface setting to command line, text-based UI:
Set default user interface setting to the graphical user interface
(GUI) and launch the GUI:
Set default user interface setting to the graphical user interface
(GUI) but do not launch the GUI:
Start the GUI from command line with an existing workspace:
