[GRASS-user] Two General Questions

   1) Can GRASS work with TINs for elevation determinations? I've not seen
anything about it, yet I've read that it has advantages over raster-based
DEMs for some purposes and wonder if there are any plans to accommodate this
data structure.

   2) Is there documentation on how to drape a bit-mapped image (specifically
from Google maps) over a shaded relief map? I know the downloaded .ps would
need to be converted to a bit-map format using 'convert', then georectified
with afine transformations, but it would certainly allow for impressive
presentations when the intended audience is non-technical. For my work,
impressive visuals is critical to accepting technical results.
