[Qgis-user] GRASS GRASS plugin

2012-07-01 Thread Chavoux Luyt
Hi guys

I know this is probably in a tutorial somewhere, so in that case if you can
just give the link I will appreciate it. :-)
I have two questions on GRASS and the GRASS plugin. (BTW, I had downgrade
my GRASS installation to get it to work with the latest qGIS on Debian
Squeeze - is this a bug?).
1. Is there a way to simply import all the open (qGIS) layers (geotiff
raster  shape vector) into the current GRASS region without duplicating
them or will I need to copy them to the right GRASS directory? (currently a
subdirectory in my qGIS project directory). I created a GRASS region that
is basically the same as the current visible area of my qGIS project.
2. Do I have access to all the GRASS command via the GRASS plugin, or will
I have to open GRASS itself for detailed analysis?

Thanks in advance
Chavoux

There is a GRASS command, v.external, that allows you *read only*
access to shapefiles outside of GRASS. But normally you'll want to
import all the layers you want to work with into GRASS. It has it's
own vector data structure, and all the tools need to have vectors in
that structure in order to work.


  2. Do I have access to all the GRASS command via the GRASS
plugin, or will I have to open GRASS itself for detailed
analysis?


Most are available in the GUI. Those that are not, (or modules that
are available in the GUI but lack some of the command line options)
you can run from the GRASS Shell in the Toolbox module list.
