[Gvsig_english] Sextante, Grass and gvSIG integration: any information?

[Benjamin Ducke]

I am currently working on a way to wrap GRASS commands using
a simple frontend.

A first version (without a GUI) will be available towards
the end of the year. Then I need to implement GUIs for the
GRASS modules and a gvSIG plug-in for starting GRASS
modules from a menu in gvSIG. I will not start programming
anything for gvSIG before 2.0 comes out with the new API.
If someone wants to see a 1.9 plug-in and is willing to
program that, please get in touch with me.

This will be a separate GRASS plug-in and not anything
to do with SEXTANTE. Obviously, integrating GRASS modules
into SEXTANTE would be better, but GRASS uses very
different data structures and that would make a common
plug-in and GUI a lot of additional work.

Best,

Ben

Betreff: [Gvsig_english] Sextante, Grass and gvSIG integration: any information?

Hello everybody,

Some time ago (around mid-September 2009) I have read a REALLY interesting post in the Sextante international mailing list.
The link is: https://lists.forge.osor.eu/pipermail/sextante-users/2009-September/000113.html
This message was between Victor Oloya, the main developer of Sextante and Antonio Falciano, a Sexante and gvSIG power-user.
The message, among other things, regarded the integration into Sextante of Grass.

Grass, for those who don't know it, has a really powerful set of modules to perform Gisanylises. 
Its web-page is: http://grass.itc.it/
It is probably the most powerful to date and it could be on par with other softwares like ArcGis. 
In many respects, in my opinion, it is even more powerful.

I would like to know whether or not there are plans for the future about the use of Grass's modules into gvSIG.
In short, through Sextante, I suppose it should be possible to use the Grass modules in gvSIG. Am I wrong?
Needless to say, at the beginning, I suppose the support for Grass's modules will be a bit limited. But in the future...

Does anybody know something more about that?

Best regards,

Silvio
