Abstract
In this chapter we explain the processing of raster data within GRASS, including some examples of spatial analysis. The raster data model, especially when combined with map algebra, provides wide range of capabilities for spatial modeling, all of which would be impossible to cover within a single chapter. Therefore, this chapter provides the basic description of the tools; more can be learned from the manual pages, tutorials and publications provided on the GRASS Web site.
