Screenshot suggestions

Please put suggestions for screenshots to go onto the main website on this page. You can post URLs or upload images directly to the wiki.

Here is the new work-in-progress screenshots page:

• http://grass.itc.it/screenshots/

Note that all screenshots are to be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 License. Please leave your name as well so we can attribute correct credit.

• See here for help making an image on this page an instant thumbnail.
  (The syntax is [[Image:{name}|{width}px]])

• PNG images are lossless but can be very large for satellite images & photographs. Best format to use for things like menus with a lot of solid colors and where crispness counts.
  • To help save bandwidth, save your PNGs with compression setting of 9. Often you can reduce the file size significantly by reducing the pallet size to be big enough to hold just the colors used.
  • Running a program like pngcrush can compress it further.

• JPG images are lossy but can be much smaller for things like satellite images & photographs.
  • For quality save nearer to 85%, for size save nearer to 75%.

• stuff in the main website images/ dir (mostly GRASS 5 shots)
  • http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/web/images/
• Screenshots from http://www.osgeo.org/grass/
• The wiki Imagelist
• Old GRASSNews and OSGeo journal articles
• Scans of old GRASS-Clippings articles? -> helena + old GRASS 4 3D globes?

Subcategories are:

User Interface

Startup screen

• Mapset picker
• Define new location by EPSG & custom params
• Markus has some on the FOSS4G2007 IntegrationShowcase wiki page

TclTk GUI

• GUI and tools in action

wxPython interface

• GIS manager
• module window

GRASS and QGIS

• see Trento QGIS

Raster map operations

• d.rast.arrow - added to raster page
• Some more raster maps
• And even more raster maps

Vector map operations

• Network ops.
• 3D visualization
  • DXF ant (HB)
  • NYC3D (HB)

Remote Sensing and LIDAR

Satellite Data/Image Processing

MODIS, Quickbird, etc, I thought to put some sites/vector points stuff here too. Maybe split that out into its own category?

• clustering, segmentation
• sat img edge detection (Markus posted one recently)
• i.landsat.rgb trials [1]
• I remember a picture of a house and dock rendered in 3D from key GCPs in some sort of stereo photogrammetry project. Maybe from an abstract of talk from the GRASS conf. that took place in EU before the Thailand one (??)
• MODIS/Terra Surface Reflectance Daily L2G Global 500m - 8 Aug 2002 - true color image composite. Part of Europe as seen from MODIS/TERRA at 500m resolution (R1 G4 B3). New snow arrived in the Alps, floods in Austria, Czech Republic and Germany due to heavy rain (up to 300mm/24h in Eastern Europe). (screenshot Markus Neteler)
• MODIS NDVI/EVI images
• ASTER high resolution remote sensing - ships on the North Sea near Germany
• SRTM void filling with spline interpolation in GRASS GIS (screenshot Markus Neteler)
• LANDSAT TM7 visualizations of Venice, Trento (screenshots Markus Neteler)
• ? more ideas please ?

LIDAR and Sonar Data

• Lidar with NC OSGeo data set
• Jockey's Ridge - added
• gdalwarping of sidescan sonar track? - yes!

Sites (point) data

• where to put this? - eg NVIZ 3D histograms

3D Visualization

• see Help with 3D

• NVIZ, r3.out.vtk, ... paraview from Sören
• MARS MOLA data ([2]) added to viz page

3D Rendering

• Povray rendering (Markus Neteler)

- added to viz page

• Povray rendering (Dylan Beaudette)

- link added to viz page

Cartography

Aim for publication quality

• ps.map, nice PS,PNG driver renders
  • I do not know, if it suits, but this I got some time ago with pure ps.map [[3]]

• example of rotated symbols in ps.map:

http://mpa.itc.it/markus/grass63/demos/psmap_rotcol.png (Hamish Bowman)

• US DRG draped over DEM (NVIZ) (Markus Neteler)

- already added as first image on viz page, add to the cartography page as well as an example of what can be done with a printed topo map??

Web Services

- added

Still need to add new movies from Bob

• Maris' r.lakes Latvia animations at http://mpa.itc.it/markus/grass61/demos/rlake/

(don't use the bad Trento figures there)
