DESCRIPTION

       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 7 comes with both a wxPython-based GUI aka wxGUI (ui=wxpython) and command line  text-based  UI
       (ui=text).

NOTES

       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/.grass7/rc on Unix-based operating systems and %APPDATA%\GRASS7\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.

       The old gis.m and d.m Tcl/Tk-based GUIs known from GRASS GIS 6 have been dropped in GRASS GIS 7.

EXAMPLES

       Set default user interface setting to command line, text-based UI:
       g.gui -d ui=text

       Set default user interface setting to the graphical user interface (GUI) and launch the GUI:
       g.gui -d ui=wxpython

       Set default user interface setting to the graphical user interface (GUI) but do not launch the GUI:
       g.gui -dn ui=wxpython
