GRASS GIS Tutorials - Tutorial 3 - Starting GRASS GIS with a sample project

On this tutorial I demonstrate how to start GRASS GIS using the sample data provided with the installation. Will show a few basic commands to familiarize users with GRASS GIS command syntax. GRASS GIS Tutorials Tutorial 3 Notes Tutorial 3 -- Sample Project -- Start GRASS GIS with sample project In this sample session, we will be starting GRASS GIS using the North Carolina data set provided with the installation. g. is a general command that has many uses: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/general.html g.list = Lists available GRASS data base files of the user-specified data type. http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/g.list.html g.list rast = will list all the raster map data available in your project. g.list vect = will list all the vector map data available in your project. .info = will display information about the preceding command/object. r.info = will display the information associated with a particular raster data set. r.info elevation = will display the information associated with the elevation data set. v.info streams = will display the information associated with the stream data set. Using the --c flag will display the types and names of the tables for a vector map. v.info -c streams = will display the types and name of the tables on the streams vector map. g.region = Manages the boundary definitions for the geographic Using -p displays the current region http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/g.region.html d.his = Displays the result obtained by combining hue, intensity, and saturation (his) values from user-specified input raster map layers. http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/d.his.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want to follow along with this tutorial, these are the materials I'll be referring to: Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1441942068/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ravenandcrow-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1441942068 Main download site for GRASS GIS: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/ List of modules/commands in GRASS GIS: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/full_index.html You can find me here: Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/115473297214719936733/communities/111147786674687562495 Twitter: https://twitter.com/grassgis E-mail: [email protected] http://www.GRASSGISTutorials.com
