Agreed: GRASS should be used only for more complex operations, not for simple tasks. However, I do not this reimplementing basic operations in qgis would make much sense. The speedy development of fTools and other python plugins is made possible by the reuse of existing libraries (especially GEOS, etc.), and IMHO the same approach should be used for rasters: a python plugin calling GDAL (same for OGR) will allow users to greatly increase their power, without too much effort from qgis devs. If important raster functions are missing from GDAL, better implement them there than rewriting them in QGIS. All the best. pc -- Paolo Cavallini, see: * http://www.faunalia.it/pc * _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
