Dear grass user

I'm looking for a grass command that unobstructed view area at one station.

For example...
I want to estimate the veiwable area around the top, when I am in the top of

a

mountain. It looks like simple, but I cannot see the opponent if there is a

b

arrier in front of my position.

In bird survey ( bird count in fixed station ), investigator's observation ar

e

a (or viewable area) is very important....

Is there a grass command that calcurates viewable area, when altitude dem (ra

s

t) and the observation point (vect or rast) are given ...?
