[GRASS-user] Plot 3D Drillholes in Grass GIS

[Thomas Adams]

Casey,

I was very interested in your original email, so I tried to track down 
the GRASS modules mentioned in the paper you cited. As it turns out the 
authors have written several related papers. While I was able to obtain 
the other papers, I could not locate the software. So, I emailed the 
authors (Shinji Masumoto) and just got a response. Unfortunately, the 
authors are unwilling to release the software into the public domain. I 
have not specifically tried NVIZ visualization as you describe, but I 
think the 3rd Ed. of "Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach" covers how 
to create 3D vectors which can be brought into NVIZ to produce what you 
need.

Regards,
Tom
