GRASS-Intergraph Data Conversion Guide

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA251458 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This guide outlines methods for bi-directionally translating vector data between Intergraph Graphics Design Software IGDS and the Geographic Resources Analysis Support System GRASS. GRASS is a microcomputer-based image- processing and geographic information system GIS used to develop, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic datasets. Since both CADD and GRASS use digital spatial data e.g., maps, this data translation capability can create joint applications between the two systems. This report describes the necessary translation paths, data format organization, data editing, and procedures to translate data between the two systems.
