GRASS GIS 6.4.3 Reference Manual

       Geographic  Resources  Analysis  Support  System,  commonly  referred to as GRASS, is a <a
       href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system">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  GPL'ed), image processing and
       geographic information system (GIS).  Go to vector introduction
