A third release candidate of GRASS 6.4.0 is now available:

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/grass-6.4.0RC3.tar.gz

To get the RC3 source code from SVN:
svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/tags/release_20090126_grass_6_4_0RC3

An announcement has been drafted at
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Release/6.4.0RC3-News

All news will be merged into the final announcement later.

Key improvements of the GRASS 6.4.0 release include enhanced
portability for MS-Windows (native support), hundreds of fixes,
the new wxPython based portable graphical interface and much
new functionality.

Hi all,

I imported a landcover shapefile in grass and I’m interested in only
one of the land cover class. So after importing with v.in.ogr and
running v.clean with bpol, I extracted only the class I’m interested
and now I want to get some statistics for each class polygon.

The problem is that this shapefile is one of those “multipart” files,
that is, only one line in the attribute column for many polygons. That
is, all polygons have category = 5. To make things worse, there are
islands…

So, to calculate the stats for each polygon I though about removing
the categories and adding them back again, to later use v.to.db but,
then the island will get categories too.

So, any hints as to how should I go about it?

Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel.

Isn’t it possible to assign new cats to specific features?

v.category in=A out=A.del option=del type=boundaries # or type=line
v.category in=A.del out=B option=add type=boundaries # or type=line

Well, here is where I get lost. Because of the islands. The polygons
of interest all have category=5 and the island have no cats. If I
delete the cats and add them again, the islands will get categories.

I just tough of this: Maybe create a new column and copy the old
categories there. Then delete and add all categories again and
calculate the statistics. After that, all I need to do is look for the
old_cat column to find the area of each polygon that is NOT AN ISLAND.
Does that sound reasonable? Any better (smarter) way of doing this? I
really need to understand this vector/database business better…

Cheers and thanks
Daniel

Binary installer on the website is only for MS Windows, but, it builds
for Linux* too. See the Linux section of the BUILDING file in the v0.5
…tar.gz source tarball.

[*] and thus UNIX, and thus Mac OSX

It is based on the cross platform wxWidgets+GTK libraries, and actually
the MS Windows port requires MSys and MinGW, so it is genetically a UNIX
app at its core.

run v.overlay to re-remove the islands

Hello,
great news.

Key improvements of the GRASS 6.4.0 release include enhanced
portability for MS-Windows (native support), hundreds of fixes,
the new wxPython based portable graphical interface and much
new functionality.

I would like to test the Windows port.

I didn’t find a installer for 6.4.0 native.

Do you plan to release only the final as Windows port?

Kind regards,
Timmie

Dear John, Rick, Hamish,

thanks for your kind answers.

I explain the problem:

I have a file with some hundreds of species and 58,000 observations. For each
species, I have the coordinates (X,Y) of the sites where they were observed.

I also have a shape file, with polygons representing conservation areas, like
natural reserves.

I need to know for each species, how many point fall inside conservation areas
and how many points fall outside conservation areas.

(while digging around myself for a solution, I found one and thought to
post it here as followup:)

Perhaps helpful?

We kind of “lost” our friend how usually prepared the native winGRASS
version - he’s apparently too busy currently

As alternative, there is now OSGeo4W:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe

In short time (I hope) it will be updated to deliver GRASS 6.4.0 RC3.
