Mini-tutorials showcasing some common GIS tasks
Import/Export and Display
- Import and display SRTM elevation data
- r.in.srtm
- GRASS Newsletter, 3, June 2005.
- You can also get the SRTM data with a convenient web interface at http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/. These come in 5 degree blocks and can be downloaded either as Geotiff or Ascii files.
- Import and display VMap0 Digital Chart of the World
- v.in.ogr
- GRASS Newsletter, 3, June 2005.
- If your region crosses the boundaries of a VMap0 block you can use the v.append command, available in the Grass Addons section of this wiki, to combine vectors across the edges. It can take quite a while to complete.
- Import and display ETOPO2 world elevation and bathymetry dataset
General Import / Export
- Raster import and export with r.in.gdal / r.out.gdal
- r.in.gdal misc. tips
- r.out.gdal data types, creation options, new flags
- Vector import and export with v.in.ogr / v.out.ogr
- Map Export for GpsDrive navigation software
GIS Tasks
- Map (re-)projection
- Create a DEM from contour lines and trig points
- r.surf.contour (see the Contour lines to DEM wiki page)
- Create a DEM from x,y,z point data
- v.surf.rst
- v.surf.idw
- v.surf.bspline
- r.surf.nnbathy (GRASS Addons)
- Create vector contour lines from a raster DEM
3D Visualization
- Use NVIZ to render a 3D image
nviz elevation.dem
- Use NVIZ to make a fly through movie
- see nviz keyframe animation panel help page
- Encoding Movies
- GRASS and Paraview
- Use Paraview to render a 3D image
Raster operations
Creation
- slope, aspect and surface parameters
- Create a shaded relief map
- drape semi-transparent land use map over shaded relief map
Analysis
Vector operations
- Disolve interior lines
Hardcopy and Graphics Creation
- create PostScript with ps.map (instructions in file, command line interface)
- use wxGUI Cartographic Composer (graphical user interface to ps.map, creates PDF or PostScript)
- use standard GRASS GIS Map Display (or its command line interface from Python or Bash) and finalize with Inkscape
- export to GMT (Generic Mapping Tools)
- export to QGIS and use Cartography Composer there
