(I am writing as if I would try to explain to somebody who touches GRASS for the first time - Excuse me for being rude ;-) 1. While you move the mouse-pointer over the menus in the GIS-Manager, the "real" name of each module is displayed on the bottom of the window 2. For each module there is (or should be) a GUI. On the bottom of it you can see the actual command that will be executed. It is a good practise to "watch" the changes of the command while changing options, names, flags or whatever in a modules GUI. Take for example r.report: In the GIS-Manager: Raster > Reports and statistics > Sum area by map and category (watch "real" name of pointed menu line on the bottom: r.report) Now in the "r.report" GUI: Play around with flags, buttons etc and watch the command syntax changing on the bottom. After executing a command with the GUI one can repeat the same command by using the copy button on the bottom left corner: copy the command and paste it in GRASS' shell, execute. GRASS is an excellent learning tool. Cheers, Nikos _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
