slide.show.sh

NAME

slide.show.sh - Displays a series of raster/vector map layers existing in the user's current mapset search path on the graphics monitor.
(GRASS Shell Script)

SYNOPSIS

slide.show.sh [across=value] [down=value] [prefix=name] [mapsets=list]

DESCRIPTION

slide.show.sh is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which clears the entire screen, creates a series of display frames on the graphics monitor, and displays in slideshow format each of the raster/vector map layers listed in the user-specified mapsets. This is a shell script example which makes extensive use of GRASS and UNIX commands. Users are encouraged to examine this macro and develop similar on-line demos using their own data files.
