[GRASS-user] automating map production in Grass

All grass commands can be run either from the gui or command line. The gui just creates the command and executes it. So you can create a shell script with a text editor that has all your commands, and does the usual things that shell scripts can do and run it from the window that appears when you launch grass.

  Hi,
   
  I am just beginning to work with Grass, although I
  am fairly experienced with ArcGIS, including
  scripting for map production and geoprocessing
  (Python and VBA). Basically, I am looking to
  automate map production in Grass, using a script
  (Python or Perl preferably?). (I have to output
  several hundred maps, based on sections of a polygon
  layer). Since I am just beginning to use Grass, I am
  wondering if anyone could please give me an idea if
  this type of task can be accomplished in Grass.
   
  Thanks very much,
  Alysson
