[GRASS-user] flyer version 0.3.1 and 0.3.2

Thx to the help of Emiliano Giovanni Vavassori the GRASS Flyer is nearly finished.
Thx to Carlos

I put two prototypes online where only one figure is different (one showing some image processing capabilites and one showing 3d modelling).

They can be found here

Just let me know which you'll like better so I know which one the GRASS community prefer.

Waiting for your opinions

I prefer the second one.

I also make a little proposal: changing "R" to "GNU R", if it's not a
problem of space.

Cheers.

Why? It is not often called that, not even on its own website or in
official docs. In my opinion, naming should follow the conventions
used by the creators/maintainers (provided they're consistent - if not,
then the most often used one).

I completely agree, there is no reason whatsoever to use the wrong name. R
is available under the terms of GPL, but there are no links to GNU as
such, and R is (oddly perhaps) not listed on

http://directory.fsf.org/math/stats/

nor anywhere else on

http://directory.fsf.org/all/

You are right, sorry for posting of such an idiot question. I didn't
check the official site and (also) I remembered wrong. I agree with your position, now.

Sorry again,

Malte,

I think both are very nice. I slightly prefer 3.1 over 3.2. 3.2 has an image
generated with ParaView, implying that it is needed to display such complex
4D data. In fact, NVIZ can produce exactly the same display. It is good to
note that GRASS can export to many other programs, including ParaView. But
since this is a GRASS PR document, I'd prefer to show what GRASS can do.

Hi all

Looking at the flyer I think saying GRASS supports PostGIS can be a
bit confusing in the sense that someone could think that GRASS can
manipulate PostGIS data directly, which it is not the case (if I am
not wrong).

Thanks for the work :slight_smile:

Very Nice! Very professional and clean.

I think I slightly prefer the 3D modelling over the Image processing.

Makes GRASS appear more sophisticated.

Most GIS colleagues that I know seem to have a good knowledge about GRASS's image processing capabilities,
however, most people don't even realize that GRASS has vector capabilities now.
(some forestry program professors even teach that GRASS is a powerful Raster GIS app but has no Vector capabilities)

There was an argument that the image is from a separate application, that the same image could be produced in NVIZ...

perhaps this is a suitable argument, I don't know...

All in all, fantastic work!

I like the design layout, top drawer.

cheers!
