Grass GIS program is a powerful Open Source, but the Graphic User Interface is not interesting, still use the command-line; almost the entire process of using data grid, although it also has the ability to process data. JGrass itself is multi-platform Java-based version of Grass, this time focusing only on use for analysis and hydrology geomorfologi.
