Dear Markus and other Grass users, Here comes the latest update about my high resolution topographic map of Europe - as usual - with some new questions. Part1 (pasting cgiar-srtm tiles together) was a real pain, since I needed to recompile GDAL with BigTIFF support in GTiFF driver to be able to

Very nice! b - The big problem are coastlines and waterbodies (+main rivers): somehow I have to show them on the topographic map, which gdalwarp has filled out with -32768 values in nodata-waterzones. So either I cut waterbodies out of the topographic raster along the vectors, or I somehow

[GRASS-user] Transparent-background elevation shadings

Hi, Aside my previous - more complete - mail, here is one quick question: Is it possible to create an alpha-to-black color table in GRASS, which could than be assigned to an elevation shadings (created via r.relief.shaded) layer in order to get a transparent background on elevation layers ?

Re: [GRASS-user] Low map display resolution in default 6.4 ?

2009-08-16 Thread Felix Schalck
After some research, I figured out that: 1) Resolution is not really the problem, since I added a shadings layer which shows the same impressive details level than I used to have in old 6.23. It is really a display question. 2) Perhaps it is the graphic driver. I did not yet found the

Hello, thanks a lot for the answer (on the weekend) ;-) You must be the owner of the directory selected as the current mapset. A FAT/VFAT partition mounted by root must be mounted with the uid= option to set the owner. OK. I was able to get access using the right uid in fstab. But let's say

RE: [GRASS-user] bus error in v.in.ogr [SEC=PERSONAL]

2009-08-16 Thread Andrew MacIntyre
A bus error is usually either an incorrectly aligned memory access or an attempt to access a memory address not in the process' memory map. I've mostly seen this when processes run out of stack space. If the cleaning process uses recursive code, that could be a source of a stack overflow.
