| 37 | | This new GRASS GIS release comes with 3 new dedicated raster modules. The first one, G76:r.path, can be used to trace paths from different starting points following input directions, such as the outputs of G76:r.cost, G76:r.walk or G76:r.watershed, among others. The second one, G76:r.buildvrt, provides the very useful functionality of creating virtual raster (VRT) mosaics from a list of input raster maps. This is very useful when the original data are available in tiles which can now be virtually mosaiked to a single map without overhead for easier analysis. G76:r.buildvrt hence allows processing big areas while avoiding the creation of physical maps, especially useful when space is limited. |
| 38 | | Finally, there is now G76:r.mapcalc.simple, a tool to calculate a new raster map from a simple r.mapcalc expression. |
