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 separating them by a semicolon (;).
saga_cmd libgrid_tools Merging -GRIDS test1.sgrd\;test2.sgrd -GRID_TARGET
merged.sgrd
