DESCRIPTION
This program allows user to start a selected graphical user interface (GUI)
from the command line prompt.
GRASS 7 has a new GUI based on wxWidgets, written in Python:
- wxpython - New wxPython based GUI aka
wxGUI
The old gis.m and d.m Tcl/Tk GUIs from GRASS 6 have been removed.
If the -u update flag is given or the g.gisenv
GRASS_GUI variable is missing, then the GRASS_GUI
variable is permanently changed and the selected GUI will be used
as the default UI from then on.
NOTES
Valid values for GRASS_GUI are text and wxpython.
g.gisenv variables are stored in the user's home directory in
a hidden file called ".grass7/rc". They are not shell
environment variables and the "rc" file is not a classic UNIX run
command file, it just contains persistent GRASS variables and is not
executed.
