[GRASS-user] Hi everyone,
hi everyone, I am a first time Grass user. Grass looks like a detail software for me, because of I am a physical anthropologist not a geologist or geographer. I have a vertebrate fossil site and I am trying to digitize (3D visualization) the site by Grass. I have tiff and jpg extension of the maps. Can I use these files as a base or layer to digitize the map, can I import it to the Grass. I am really an amateur for Grass and GIS. I'll be a happy anthropologist :) if I can get some practical and basic advice from you guys. thanks a lot, Ferhat Kaya Human Evolution Research Center 3101 VLSB, UC Berkeley, CA, 94720 ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
Re: [GRASS-user] Hi everyone,
Hi Nikos, I am going to follow your advice, and try to figure out how I can do that :). I am taking a GIS course in this quarter but I am a Mac user and the instructor is using the ArcExplorer for teaching. ArcExplorer looks like so simple according to the Grass. Anyway, I have GPS coordinates of my site and localities, and raster maps (in .tiff format) also. I really want to learn to use Grass for an enough level. Thank you very much Nikos.

First read the First Time Users section in http://grass.osgeo.org/intro/firsttime.php If you just need to visualize something (a single map) you can start with an XY non-geo-referenced LOCATION and import your images. You can create easily an xy location when starting grass. Then you import your images with r.in.gdal module. However, if you intend to do some geo-analysis, you definitely need your geospatial data to be anchored on some coordinate system. Before doing anything: .are your maps georeferenced? .do you have any other referenced raster maps or vector data?

Re: [GRASS-user] Hi everyone,
Hi Mustafa, Glad to hear you. I am a Mac (OS X 10.5 Leopard) user and I am trying to figure out how can I create 3D visualization of my site. Hopefully I'll done. Do you want to do same thing also? take it easy, ferhat On Apr 10, 2008, at 4:17 PM, Mustafa Umut Sarac wrote: Hello Ferhat , I am an archaeologist from Istanbul who wants to use Grass for many years but unable to start it at windows with linux code.
