[GRASS-dev] on the fly grass location

2010-11-14 Thread Paolo Cavallini

Hi all.
As it has been discussed earlier, having location generated (and 
destroyed) on the fly would help a lot the casual qgis grass user to 
approach grass. The idea is to run an analysis by loading (r.external, 
v.external, v.in.ogr) data, generating a location from it, run, save the 
results as tif or shp, and destroy the location at the end, all without 
users noticing it (but explaining for future reuse).
The good news is that here at the hackfest we got a voulnteer willing to 
help with the coding (preferably in Python). Welcome Peter Loewe!

Anybody willing to help him with the first steps?
All the best.

Great, Peter!

Sure - note that all ingredients are already there including the
demolocation which
comes with any GRASS binary package. Maybe that's easier discussed
over chat?
