Migrating to GRASS
GIS "The GRASS way"
Interoperability
- Collaboration with external software is highly encouraged.
- GDAL/OGR for Import/Export
- R statistics
- Matlab/Octave - r.in.mat, r.out.mat, v.in.mapgen, v.in.ascii, v.out.ascii
- POVray
- VMRL
- GMT - Generic Mapping Tools for cartography
Portability
- All code POSIX C and generic UNIX compatible
Scriptability
- GRASS is made up of modular tools specifically designed for easy scriptability in any number of common scripting languages
- SWIG interface for direct hooks into higher scripting languages
Freedom
- F.O.S.S.
