DESCRIPTION

       Quantum	GIS  (QGIS) is a cross platform, Free and Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS). Supported platforms include Linux/Unix,
       Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU Public License.

       Some of the major features include:

       *Support for spatially enabled PostGIS tables
       *Support for shapefiles, ArcInfo coverages, Mapinfo, and other formats
	 supported by OGR
       *Raster support for a large number of formats
       *Identify features
       *Display attribute tables
       *Select features
       *GRASS Digitizing
       *Feature labeling

OPTIONS

       --snapshot filename
	      Create a snapshot image from the specified layers and save it to filename. The snapshot is saved in PNG format.

       --lang language
	      Set the language used by QGIS. Language is specified using the locale string that matches one of the translations supported by QGIS.
	      For example, to use the German translation, specify --lang de

       --project filename
	      Load  the  specified QGIS project file. The layers specified in the project file are loaded, the layers are symbolized, and the view
	      extent is restored.

       --extent xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax
	      Set initial map extent by passing coordinates of that rectangle.

       --width width
	      Width of snapshot to emit

       --height height
	      Height of snapshot to emit

       --nologo
	      Hide splash screen

       --noplugins
	      Don't restore plugins on startup. Useful if some third-party plugins make QGIS crash during startup.

       --optionspath path
	      Use the given QSettings path

       --configpath path
	      Use the given path for all user configuration

       --help
	      Display brief usage help.

       file...
	      A list of one or more files to be loaded into QGIS at startup. Files must consist of a data format supported by QGIS and only  disk-
	      based  formats  can  be loaded using this method. This includes shapefiles, MapInfo files, and most raster formats. Data stores that
	      cannot be loaded in this way include PostGIS layers in a PostgreSQL database and GRASS vector/raster data.

FILES

       ~/.config/QuantumGIS/qgis.conf
	      QGIS preferences file. This file stores windows size/location, loaded plugins, user options, and other application settings.

BUGS

       See the QGIS home page (http://qgis.org) for a list of known issues with the latest release.

GRASS GIS 6.4.2 Reference Manual
       Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS, is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_informa-
       tion_system">Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps  produc-
       tion, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many
       governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

       This reference manual details the use of modules distributed with Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS), an open source (GNU
       GPL'ed), image processing and geographic information system (GIS).
