[GRASS-dev] an interesting opportunity

[Wolf Bergenheim]

Yes interesting indeed!

Immediately I can think of a few possibilities. v.out.odg v.in.odg, but 
more interesting perhaps would be to build a map directly to odg 
(graphics) format? Some statistical modules could perhaps output to ods 
(spreadsheet).

For the moment being I'd be most interested in the possibilities of 
combining odf and a mapping. Unfortunately I don't think we have the 
resources for that at the moment (unless I start working on it, which I 
might). :( So perhaps if we would have v.out.odg one could then proceed 
to complete the map with OOo. Things like north arrows and scale bars 
and grids would still be missing :( Not to mention legends... Perhaps 
those can be added to the odg file?

Anyway... Thanks for an interesting find!
