GRASS and Octave

GRASS and Octave

Octave (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/) is a high-level interactive language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It works in a fashion which is not dissimilar to MATLAB. Most scripts that run in one will run in the other.

Import and export

Raster

• Import: r.in.mat
• Export: r.out.mat
