[R-sig-Geo] image classification with GRASS

[Nick Matzke]

Hi all,

I've got R (with spgrass6) and GRASS installed on my Mac OS 
X machine.

My goal is to load and classify a .img file that was clipped 
out of a Landsat 7 ETM image in ERDAS.

However, GRASS seems to have a huge learning curve to even 
get started.  Could I beg some GRASS wizard to post the very 
basic commands that one would typically use to:

1. load a .img file into GRASS
2. Display it
3. Conduct a classification of the pixels (any sort of 
classification would be fine, even a simple 2-class 
unsupervised classification).

Thanks *very much* if you are able to help!  Normally I'm 
pretty good at this sort of thing, but GRASS is 
extra-intimidating to newbies.

Thanks, and cheers!
Nick

is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your 
view is wronger than both of them put together."
