GRASS migration hints/id

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 Efor Import/Export
• R statistics: GRASS/R interface
• 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 rendering: r.out.pov, v.out.pov
• VMRL: r.out.vrml (3D virtual realilty)
• GMT - Generic Mapping Tools for cartography: 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

Portability

• All code POSIX C and generic UNIX compatible
• Most code MinGW compatible for native 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.
