To be precise: If GRASS is started for the first time in "-text" mode
(=no GUI) ** without having a sample location like Spearfish or North
Carolina around**, how can location parameters (projection, extent,
EPSG...) be handed over to set up a very first location ?
Just type in the name of the location you want to create and GRASS will
prompt you for the parameters.
That's true. But is there also a way to provide the parameters
_without_ interaction with the user (-> GRASS scripting & automation)
You can create a new location and mapset with "g.proj -c ...", then
make it current with g.mapset. But those are GRASS commands, and only
work within GRASS.
I imagine that you can create your own location by having a script
create the location directory, the PERMANENT mapset directory and the
PROJ_INFO, DEFAULT_WIND and PROJ_UNITS files, or ?
