[GRASS-user] Thanks for making my work successful
Hi all! I am glad to inform you that after spending nearly an year on my PG dissertation work, I have defended it successfully today. I was totally new to GRASS GIS and other FOSS GIS packages an year ago. Still the faith I had in the free software community gave me the confidence that entire GRASS User community would be there to help me in case of difficulties. I was proved right by the users here. I got good and detailed answers from top users of GRASS every time I posted a question, that too in the shortest possible time. This always boosted my confidence and today I have reasonably good working knowledge on GRASS. Hence, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members of this community for supporting me in all stages of my work. I have also decided to take part in GRASS Development in coming days and thus contribute my bit to this wonderful software.

[GRASS-user] Writing a script for image classification
Hi all! Will it be possible to write a simple script for image classification routine? Basically I have several image groups/subgroups in same/different mapsets in GRASS. I perform supervised classification with the following routine: 1. Vector layer containing training sites imported from QGIS - same sites to be used for all image groups/subgroups 2. Conversion of vector to raster 3. Generation of signature sites using i.gensig - here the usage of groups/subgroups arise 4. Classification using i.maxlik So far I have been doing all these operations using GUI but now I want to become a power user. Can anyone give me a brief overview/outline of how a script would look like for my purpose. I did look into the wiki pages but wasn't able to understand it. So I seek suggestions from regular script users in this community.

[GRASS-user] Changing/Applying appropriate raster colors
Hi all! I use 'i.maxlik' for image classification. The output obtained shows water in green, built-up area in blue, vegetation in red and so on. It would be appropriate if water appears blue and I had the ability to customize other colors. Where and how do I specify these details in my sequence of operations which is as follows: 1. Vector layer containing training sites imported from QGIS 2. Conversion of vector to raster 3. Generation of signature sites using i.gensig 4. Classification using i.maxlik I tried adding a column(inputs 'varchar') color with RRR:GGG:BBB values to my vector generated in first step but the colors didn't come according to that in the final output.

Hi all! How can I clip 1. a raster layer with a vector boundary and 2. a vector layer with a vector boundary in GRASS GIS using GUI? I couldn't find a suitable option to do that.

[GRASS-user] Classifying single landcover
Hi all! For my work I am interested in identifying a single kind of vegetation from LANDSAT Images. If I use signature file with just one signature class(I take many training sites all over the area), the classified image with i.maxlik appears full pink. On the other hand if I randomly pick training sites for one more class(water) and have two classes in the signature file this does not happen. So I am wondering will it not be possible to use a single class's signature sites for supervised classification.

[GRASS-user] GRASS Image Groups applications
Hi all! Image groups created using i.group in GRASS GIS are used to bundle band raster files to facilitate classification processes. Other than that under what scenarios it can be used? A journal article Computing geostatistical image texture for remotely sensed data classification - PDF http://hera.ugr.es/doi/15003954.pdf mentions about using different band/result combinations for checking improvements in accuracy. The authors there use a custom code to generate texture layers and finally use different combinations of texture layers and bands to check the improvements in accuracy. The texture layers are images which are pixel wise manipulated images obtained using a custom code applied on Principal Components of LANDSAT Images. They use several combinations like bands+univariate texture layers, bands+fractal dimension layers and many more. For such a case, can i.group be used? If not what module of GRASS would be suitable for that? Thanks and regards, Chethan S. ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
[GRASS-user] i.group and r.patch in supervised classification
Hi all! I am confused about the utility of r.patch and i.group w.r.t. image classification. In ERDAS for supervised classification layer stacking can be done followed by classification. A way to layer stack in GRASS would be r.patch (since layers are more than 3, I can't use r.composite). But for classifying in GRASS since i.group has to be used, can I use i.group to do layer stacking instead of using r.patch and then classify?

[GRASS-user] GDAL-GRASS Error
Hi all,
When I run --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn, for installing GDAL-GRASS,
I get the following error:
checking for gdal-config... /usr/bin/gdal-config
using /usr/lib/gdalplugins as GDAL shared library autoload directory
checking for G_asprintf in -lgrass_gis... no
configure: error: --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn requested, but
libraries not found!
Perhaps you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/lib?
I have created a *grass.conf* as instructed elsewhere inside
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and have added following lines in it:
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/lib
I ran sudo ldconfig after that too.
I came across a similar issue posted in the GRASS-Dev mailing list
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/gdal-grass-plugin-build-failed-td6232215.
As an answer it was instructed to:
You could just generate the symlinks yourself, e.g.:
cd /usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/lib
for file in libgrass_*.so ; do ln -s $file ${file%.6.5.svn.so}.so
; done html.
I ran,
cd /usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/lib
ln -s $file ${file%.6.5.svn.so}.so
but it made no difference! What should I do now?
Thanks and Regards,

[GRASS-user] Displaying layers - GRASS 6.4.0RC7 with MSYS
Hello! I natively use GRASS in ubuntu but wanted to try it in windows as well. I use GRASS 6.4.0RC7 with MSYS and referring to Open Source GIS - A GRASS Approach I wanted to display layers using following commands for the sample North Carolina dataset - g.region rast=elevation -p d.erase d.rast elevation d.his h=elevation i=elevation_shade and so on... Prior to all these there was d.mon x0 command. It resulted in an error. It was also mentioned that X server system does not work in windows and I can use gis.m. I want it to display in wxGUI. The commands I typed in gave no results. The map display of wxGUI interface gives no output unless I key in the commands one after another in GRASS Layer Manager under Cmd. Its a difficult process as I have to erase the previous command before entering next one. Is there any other way to get dynamic outputs from MSYS shell interface or is using GUI the only way. I am not interested in using the windows command interface or text interface to grass.

Prior to all these there was d.mon x0 command. It resulted in an error. d.mon is the main feature which doesn't work natively in Windows. All d.* commands operating by generating an image file (by default, the file map.png in the current directory). For screen display, use one of the GUIs, or open the map.png file in a viewer which provides a quick way to reload the current file. Also, note that d.mon has been removed altogether in GRASS 7. -- Glynn Clements gl...@gclements.plus.com Hello again! Is displaying on x0 or cairo or png displays using d.mon, the only way to display layers from command line even in linux? Isn't there a way to type commands in terminal and get the layers displayed in GRASS GIS Map display in wxGUI?

[GRASS-user] Commands on Cygwin vs native windows
Hello! I am in the process of learning to use GRASS. I mainly use it in ubuntu. I wanted to try it in windows as well. I noticed that there are several download options for it. Though I am a naive user with regard to command line, I have slowly begun to like command line. My questions, some are really basic. Please excuse me if I am wrong. 1. Is the GRASS manual at http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/index.html written for UNIX based OS users or windows users? 2. Which option provides maximum advantage with regard to usage - stand-alone windows version or cygwin based one. And why? 3. I wonder if I would be able to run UNIX like commands - module [-flag1[flag2...]] parameter1=map1[,map2,...]\ [parameter2=number...] [--o] [--q] [--v] in windows as well in GUI based version or do I need cygwin based one for such work.
