I agree that SAGA is a good algorithms box, and it would good for many users to have it by default, but I wouldn't stop implementing new toolboxes because SAGA has one strong limitation, IMHO: it needs to read the data source (as GRASS does) and LOAD it completely in memory. This can be ok in many cases, but it makes many algorithms unusable if the data are quite big. I've tried to run the "clip contest" and I haven't been able to see the end, because SAGA has reached the maximum RAM the OS could give it, and the process was taking hours to finish...
In brief, SAGA is nice, but not so robust for many production scenarios. giovanni 2012/12/14 Anita Graser <[email protected]> > On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 8:25 AM, Paolo Cavallini <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Il 14/12/2012 08:20, Anita Graser ha scritto: > > > >> Hi Victor!
