Topic: distance

Tool Description
d.geodesic Displays a geodesic line, tracing the shortest distance between two geographic points along a great circle, in a longitude/latitude data set.
d.rhumbline Displays the rhumbline joining two longitude/latitude coordinates.
m.cogo It assumes a cartesian coordinate system
r.distance Locates the closest points between objects in two raster maps.
r.grow.distance Generates a raster map containing distances to nearest raster features and/or the value of the nearest non-null cell.
r.grow Generates a raster map layer with contiguous areas grown by one cell.
v.distance Finds the nearest element in vector map 'to' for elements in vector map 'from'.
