Bermigrasi ke GRASS

Selamat datang! Bantuan untuk belajar menggunakan GRASS tersedia banyak di internet dan Anda juga dapat berkomunikasi dengan banyak ahli melalui milis dan IRC.

GIS "The GRASS way"

Interoperabilitas

Kolaborasi dengan software di luar GRASS amat disarankan.

• GDAL/OGR untuk Impor/Ekspor
• R statistics: Antarmuka GRASS/R
• DXF: v.in.dxf, v.out.dxf
• Matlab/Octave: r.in.mat, r.out.mat, v.in.mapgen, v.in.ascii, v.out.ascii
• POV-Ray untuk melakukan proses rendering: r.out.pov, v.out.pov
• VMRL: r.out.vrml (3D virtual realilty)
• GMT - Generic Mapping Tools untuk kartografi: r.in.bin, r.out.bin
• Google Earth/KML: v.out.ogr
• VTK (Paraview, etc): r3.out.vtk, r.out.vtk, v.out.vtk
• V5D: r3.in.v5d, r3.out.v5d

Portabilitas

• Semua kode POSIX C dan UNIX generik bersifat kompatibel
• Hampir semua kode MinGW bersifat kompatibel untuk MS-Windows

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

• if "GRASS_BATCH_JOB=/path/to/script.sh" is set GRASS 6.3+ will run the script as a batch job and exit when it is complete. Start GRASS with the full path to the mapset to avoid the startup menus. See also GRASS and Shell.
