[Qgis-community-team] GRASS section of the manual

[Micha Silver]

Here are some of my thoughts regarding the GRASS plugin section of the 
manual, and what modules to demonstrate -


1- r.contours (using the gtopo30 dem)

    v.generalize on the new vector contour map (explaining the 
difference  between the GRASS options and the fTools simplify tool)

    r.watershed (same dem)

    r.to.vect on the new watershed and streams raster maps

2- Also r.patch but on _what data_? The Alaska raster data contains only 
the one gtopo30 tile.

 

3- v.rast.stats: import the trees shape file into GRASS, then run 
v.rast.stats on the dem to show the relationship between forest coverage 
and elevation. I'd do g.region first to process only a small area.


4- The manual for 1.1 has in the appendix a (long) list of all the GRASS 
modules. Is this necessary? Perhaps more useful might be an alphabetical 
list of modules and where in the Toolbox (which section in the tree) 
each appears. I don't think it adds much to have the same tree list from 
the toolbox duplicated at the back of the manual.


Pardon one newbie question. Is the source for qgis 1.2 now available? 
 From where?


Thanks for any feedback,

Micha
