[GRASS-web] Question on history of Raster Tiling in GRASS

[Markus Neteler]

Carl,

I have forwarded your question to the grass-dev mailing list (you will
have a BCC copy).

For sure this matters:
https://grass.osgeo.org/programming7/segmentlib.html

which was already in the GRASS GIS 4.1 programmer's manual from 1993:
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass41/manuals/progman.ps.Z

Maybe more material will be dug out, see
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2016-August/082029.html

and hopefully subsequent emails in the next days.

Best
Markus
