7 Data export

The data export is naturally just as important for working in GIS as the data import described in chapter 5. There is a possibility between the export of data in exchange formats, which are further to be processed with other GIS software, or the export in image formats for a professional visualization with external graphic software such as Xfig or Skencil. GRASS offers a range of modules, which can export raster data, vector data, and sites. The respective command syntax can be learned or - like all the other modules - printed with the parameter '-help'.
