G'day Grass listers,

I'm very new at using Grass, and I'd be most appreciative if someone could suggest a strategy to accomplish the following:

I have a map of part of Australia, subdivided into local government areas (LGAs). Both the coastline and the LGA boundaries are vector layers, referenced by latitude and longitude.

I want to sample the map at each point on a grid (say at each 0.1 of lat and 0.1 of long). At a sample point I will place a rectangle of a given size oriented in a NW-SE direction, with the westernmost corner of the rectangle on the sample point. I then want to calculate the proportion of each LGA which is enclosed in the rectangle (there may be up to 6 or so).

I'm not familiar enough with Grass to know how best to approach this. I'd be very grateful for any suggested strategies.

With thanks,
John Field
Adelaide, South Australia
