temporal(1grass)

💖 NAME 💖

temporal — it's the manual page for the whole temporal command family of GRASS, aka the t.* modules, fr fr. This one lives in the GRASS 8.5.0 Reference Manual, and we're gonna go through every single one of them 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, which everyone just calls GRASS, is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. No cap.

GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies. She's everywhere, she's booked and busy ✨

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