Hello Babel developers,
just two suggestions for new languages:
1. GRASS GIS
As far as I know there is no grass-mode in emacs, but some expert people are
successful running grass processes together with R processes in ESS.
Since GRASS and R are natural allies, it would be great to use the GRASS
engine in an org-file to retrieve spatial data and then analyse the data
with R in the same file - would make Org a kind of emacs-grassmode
replacement.
2. Lilypond
A nice to have for all the music lovers in the org community.
Regards
Thorsten

I know it should work just like combining R and LaTex with Sweave, but the last time I tried I had problems - integration in Org could make it easy. And, since nowadays books are shared on the web for free and the author starves, one might want to reuse the content in the setting of an online music school.

I second that - but what would be really needed to make this work nicely, is syntax highlighting for grass commands. And in addition, GRASS scripts are shell scripts - so one should be able to use a combination of :session and sh code blocks to run GRASS commands without problems (haven't tried it yet, but nice idea). The only question would be on how can I start a shell, in which I start GRASS in which I run the R shell? Well - what I did was to start GRASS in xterm, in GRASS start emacs with & and when I started R in emacs, it was running in GRASS. Is this what you mean, or am I missing here something? Rainer > 2.

The paths that are being generated so that the results block can find the images. The lilypond commands that tell it to make a "snippet" picture. I started looking into this as it seems to have changed since I last used lilypond this way. I researched the switches but never actually tested them. -D preview.

No - GRASS can be described as a collection of commands which are executed in the shell after some environmental variables are set. So GRASS is rather a super set of a bash shell. So an implementation of GRASS could easily build on how sh code blocks are hab=ndled in org. Interactive GRASS sessions are effectively sh sessions with adapted $PATH variable and a few environmental variables, to make the GRASS commands accessible. So really the easiest would be to use the existing sh support, set the environmental variables, set the $PATH and execute the commands. The environmental variables could be defined in :var - so actually that should not be a problem. Syntax highlighting could be based on sh with added commands in the added $PATH - should not be to difficult (theoretically...). > Would it be possible to simply use the existing R support in babel > only specify a non-R command to be run to start interactive sessions? Well - R, like python which is becoming the "official" scripting language for GRASS, has a set of commands to interface with GRASS - so using R (or python) would not be a useful approach. There is an R package (spGRASS6) which is doing exactly what I mentioned above (setting the $PATH and the environmental variables) to be able to execute grass commands from within R - (with the syntax execGRASS( "COMMAND", ... ) So one could look at that command (initGRASS() I think it is called) to see what is necessary - or just execute grass: grass -text GISBASE/LOCATION_NAME/MAPSET ########################################## rkrug@ecolmod:~/deb$ grass --help Usage: grass64 [-h | -help | --help] [-v | --version] [-c] [-text | -gui | -tcltk | -oldtcltk | -wxpython | -wx] [[[<GISDBASE>/]<LOCATION_NAME>/]<MAPSET>] Flags: -h or -help or --help print this help message -v or --version show version information and exit -c create given mapset if it doesn't exist -text use text based interface and set as default -gui use graphical user interface (wxpython by default) and set as default -tcltk use Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface and set as default -oldtcltk use old Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface and set as default -wxpython or -wx use wxPython based graphical user interface and set as default Parameters: GISDBASE initial database (path to GIS data) LOCATION_NAME initial location MAPSET initial mapset GISDBASE/LOCATION_NAME/MAPSET fully qualified initial mapset directory Environment variables relevant for startup: GRASS_GUI select GUI (text, gui, tcltk, oldtcltk, wxpython) GRASS_TCLSH set tclsh shell name to override 'tclsh' GRASS_WISH set wish shell name to override 'wish' GRASS_HTML_BROWSER set html web browser for help pages GRASS_ADDON_PATH set additional path(s) to local GRASS modules GRASS_BATCH_JOB shell script to be processed as batch job GRASS_PYTHON set python shell name to override 'python' rkrug@ecolmod:~/deb$ ########################################## So it should be doable relatively easily I guess. So the environmental variables needed would be: GISDBASE initial database (path to GIS data) LOCATION_NAME initial location MAPSET initial mapset So that GRASS can build GISDBASE/LOCATION_NAME/MAPSET fully qualified initial mapset directory Thinking of it, a GRASS code block #+begin_src grass ... #+end_src would be a sh code block, in which as the first command "grass -text" is executed, i.e. #+begin_src grass grass -text ... #+end_src For tangling: GRASS scripts are executed usually from within GRASS, so they are normal sh scripts (same shebang and all) So implementation should be rather straight forward, I think? Just a side note: as GRASS installs in addition to the command grass also a command "grass64" for version 6.4 etc, it would be nice to have the command "grass" modifiable.

But I would be a happy user of both new babel languages grass gis and lilypond, and it seems I'm not alone. Especially in the grass gis case it would be really helpfull if an expert ecologist on the list ;) could write a little tutorial on Worg, once the grass functionality is available, showing how to do literate GIS-programming in an org-file, using and integrating all three languages (grass, R, python).
