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

[Markus Neteler]

FYI from the "grass-web" list - please assist to provide the answer to Carl.

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

but there will be more material.

thanks,
Markus

Hi -

Hopefully someone knows the answer!

I am reviewing some OGC documents related to Testbed 12 tiling
experiments. In one of the draft OGC engineering reports there is a
statement that raster tiling has only been around a decade or so. I
immediately thought that GRASS probably had a tiling capability that
has been available for more than 10 years! So if anyone knows the
history of tiling as a storage structure in GRASS, please let me know!

FYI, I used GRASS way back in 1987/88 has part of an interoperability
integration project between GenaMap and GRASS. As far as I know, this
was the first service level integration between two systems on
different computers to a common command interface. Good fun!

Thanks and regards

Carl
