[GRASS-user] Low pass filtering

[John Nicholls]

Thanks Benjamin, the stripes should be perfectly aligned along the X or
Y axis of the region for each data set, generally the data is collected
east/west or north/south. Thanks for the light reading. Will see how I
get on.

Thanks also Nikos - will dive deeper and see what comes.
