  • Introduction

    • Information about a library of packages that provide a raster calculator for 2D square celled spatial data called Grids. This began to evolve in the year 2000 and has been used in a number of research projects. A beta version of the library was published online in March 2005 as open source under the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1. The software is based on the Java language.
    • The general idea of the library is to provide computational handling for raster processing where the number of datasets and the size of these datasets render existing methods unable to cope. Essentially, grids provides better memory handling, controlling the swapping of data between different parts of computer memory. Examples uses have successfully processed mutliple rasters with hundreds of thousands of rows and columns on modest computational hardware (2GB of fast access memory and several times that of disk).
