[GRASS-user] Scatter plot of rasters in Grass

dear Grass community,

I’ve been looking around in the internet and can’t find a solution yet:
dealing with remote sensing, I want to do a scatter plot of two or more bands, let’s say they could be any raster for which you would like so see what’s the correlation among them.

I’ve used frequently this tool in other software in the past, so I’ve found out that the Interactive scatter plot tool by Stepan is available in Grass 7, but:

  1. I don’t have 7 installed and I’m not sure I know how to (could try though), and
  2. my final purpose is, after that, to perform some PCA or another type of axes transformation (kind of Tasselled Cap) on those original bands. So actually I need to work on the data, not just to visualize them.

In the last couple of days I’ve tried to to do this in R, which I’m not expert of (yet!), and this just opened more questions. Like: better to use R from Grass, or Grass from R?
Second: the processing of great rasters seems really time consuming, so maybe I’m getting mistaken somewhere… and didn’t arrive to visualize the scatter plot yet.
I’ve gone through the grasswiki page on R-statistics several times already, but I probably need a kind of tutorial or other material available on the subject.

Any help/advice in this issue would be appreciated!
bye,

Anna

NB: I’m using Grass 6.4.3 on Xubuntu.

It should be as easy as this:

--> ubuntu

You can install GRASS 6 and 7 in parallel.
