SCRIPT
DESCRIPTION
SAGA GIS (System for Automated Geoscientific Analysis) is a free and
open source geographic information system used for editing and
analysing spatial data. It includes a large number of modules for the
analysis of vector, table, grid and image data.
The SAGA command line interpreter is particularly useful for the
processing of complex work flows by defining a series of subsequent
tool calls in a script file. Calling saga_cmd with the option '-b' or
'--batch' will create an example of a DOS batch script file, which
might be a good starting point for the implementation of your own
specific work flows.
When run without arguments, the module libraries in the current module
library are listed. By default this is the directory which was set at
installtion (/usr/lib/saga). This can be overwritten by setting the
environment variable SAGA_MLB.
OPTIONS
[SAGA_MLB=dirname]
Module libraries are expected to be located in the directory
that is specified by the environment variable 'SAGA_MLB'. If
this is not found the module installation directory
(/usr/lib/saga) will be searched for instead.
LIBRARY [MODULE] [MODULE OPTIONS]
Specify the library (ie ta_morphometry) and the module (number
or name). If no module is specified the different modules of a
library are listed.
-h, --help
Display help and exit
-d, --docs
Create tool documentation in the current working directory
-b, --batch
Create batch file examples in the current working directory
-c, --cores
Number of physical processors to use for computation
-f, --flags
Various flags for general usage [qrsilpxo]
q No progress report
r No messages report
s Silent mode (no progress and no messages report)
i Allow user interaction
l Load translation dictionary
p Load projections dictionary
x Use XML markups for synopses and messages
o Load old style naming
EXAMPLE
export SAGA_MLB=/usr/lib/saga
saga_cmd ta_morphometry "Local Morphometry" -ELEVATION dem.sgrd -SLOPE
slope.sgrd -ASPECT aspect.sgrd -METHOD 1
Multiple input files can be specified by seperating them by a semicolon
(;).
saga_cmd libgrid_tools Merging -GRIDS test1.sgrd\;test2.sgrd
-GRID_TARGET merged.sgrd
