Hi, Thanks for the proper answer. one more question:<br><br>Assume my application is written in Java. Is it a way to call functions of GRASS libraries in my Java application to use its functionality? or I have to use C, C++ and Python to develop the whole application? On the whole is it possible to use other languages for development using GRASS libraries rather than these three languages?<br>

</div>You can, but like all other software you need to comply with its<br>
license. GRASS is released under GPL<br>
(<a href="http://grass.fbk.eu/intro/general.php" target="_blank">http://grass.fbk.eu/intro/general.php</a>) here is more on GPL:<br>

</div>The core of GRASS is in C, C++. For scripting you can choose Python.<br>

</div>I guess yes, but I haven't used it under windows<br>
