New GRASS-SWARM class

[Jim Westervelt]

Dear folks interested in a GRASS-SWARM (or is that SWARM-GRASS) interface:
I've created a new class: GrassDiscrete2d.  It can be found at
   ftp://ftp.gis.uiuc.edu/westervelt/grass.swarm.tar.Z
The associated README.grass file is included here:

======================================================================:1


This is the readme file for a new SWARM class called GrassDiscrete2d
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier effort:

Pretty much a complete rework of an earlier effort by Douglas Briggs
at the GMSlab (http://www.gis.uiuc.edu) during the Spring semester
1996.  Michael Shapiro (of GRASS) and Roger Burkhart (of SWARM)
provided guidance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents:

"grass" directory: The GrassDiscrete2d class and test program
                   Also contains a sample GRASS data base.
"grass_display_demo" directory: Demonstrates visualizing a map
"grass_w_agent" directory: Demonstrates agent interaction with a map
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Relies on:

This is based on the latest version of GRASS which I prefer to call
GRASS 5.0 as it has significant data base changes over 4.1.  Some
call it 4.2.  Can be cobbled together from the 4.1 release and
associated upgrades.  Perhaps I can make available GRASS 5.0 binaries
and src for Solaris 5.x ??

GrassDiscrete2d has only been tested under Solaris 5.5
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Change to Makefile.conf

Makefile.conf in the swarm home dir needs to point to your GRASS
libraries.  I've added the following lines to our Makefile.conf:

SETUP=GMSLAB

ifeq ($(SETUP),GMSLAB)
# GMSLAB at the Univ of Illinois' setup
LDCONFIG=bin
SYS=solaris
GRASSLIBS = -L/apps/grass/4.2/src/src/libes/LIB.solaris5.5 -lgis
OTHERLIBS= $(GRASSLIBS) -lnsl -ldl
endif
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Running demos

grass/run, grass_display_demo/run1, and grass_w_agent/run1 are
shell scripts that establish the required SWARM and GRASS environment
variables and then runs the compiled program.

grass_display_demo/run2 and grass_w_agent/run2 are
shell scripts that establish the required SWARM environment
variables and then runs the compiled program.  Use this when you
are in a GRASS shell.  Note that you will need to create a GRASS
raster map of your choice iwht the name "x".
