GRASS GIS 8.2.0 Reference Manual

Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is a
Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis,
image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is
currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many
governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

This reference manual details the use of modules distributed with Geographic Resources
Analysis Support System (GRASS), an open source (GNU GPLed), image processing and
geographic information system (GIS). Go back to help overview
