Mini-tutorials showcasing some common GIS taks
Import/Export and Display
- Import and display SRTM elevation data
- r.in.srtm
- 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
- r.in.bin
- General 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
- General vector import and export with v.in.org / v.out.ogr
-
- v.in.ogr misc. tips, shapefile gotchas
- v.out.ogr data types, dsn, new flags
