Hi Hamish, Thank you for the suggestions. v.hull is something that i had passed over before, it wont work on this occasion as the dam is boomerang shaped, but i will be sure to use it when i can. Takes a fair deal of processing out. For those that are interested the final result was as follows:

[GRASS-user] Just a comment about the GRASS-book

2008-05-29 Thread Nikos Alexandris
I am using the GRASS book since the beginning of the year. I just wanted to say that the book is simply The tutorial. I was wondering if the 1st GRASS-book is worthy to obtain (any information that is not in the 2nd and 3rd edition?). Thanks to Markus and Helena. Nikos
