To All,

I have sites that have soil pedon data, I have used the sites with s.surf.idw to create a raster surfaces for each attribute. I also have large scale dem with 1-meter smaplings. I want to create stratigraphic cross-section from various raster layers.

Ca> n this be done in GRASS? What is the best way do it?. I have done this same process in Arc/Info, but I would realy like to do it in GRASS.

Thanks

There is no standard GRASS command that does this; d.profile only takes
one input layer to draw a profile. I don't think it should be extremely
difficult to write something that takes several layers for input, but I'm
not aware of anyone having already done this.

would a combination of d.what.rast/r.what and g.gnuplot
be useful here?
