Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Function that initializes environment pathes, SAGA, GRASS7 and GDAL support. *NOTE* you probably have to customize some settings in your custom or the demo.ini file

1	initEnvironGIS(fname.control)

`fname.control`	name of the session ini.file
`fname.DEM`	name of used raster DEM (GDAL format)

This concept is somehow not very R-like. You have to provide and control at least the installations pathes of the used SAGA and GRASS executables, root and working folder, epsg code AND correct corresponding proj4 string of the DEM data file (all controlled by the ini file). Finally you need to provide a GDAL conform DEM file.
