SAGA GIS is a GIS software for geo-scientific analysis that offers advanced tools for analyzing and managing spatial data.
SAGA, short for System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses, is a hybrid GIS software that aims to provide scientists with an effective and easy-to-learn platform for implementing geoscientific methods. This is achieved through SAGA's unique Application Programming Interface (API) and user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Together, these features result in SAGA's true strength: a fast-growing set of geoscientific methods bundled in exchangeable Module Libraries.
SAGA's system architecture is shown in a figure, and the software is written in the widespread and powerful C++ programming language, following an object-oriented approach. As an open source project under the GNU Public License, SAGA is an ideal tool for anyone working in the field of geosciences who wants transparent, state-of-the-art methods.
SAGA offers a range of key features, including file access interfaces, filters for grids, gridding tools, geostatistics, grid calculators, grid discretization, grid tools, image classification, various projections, simulation of dynamic processes, terrain analysis, and vector tools.
In the latest release, there are only a few minor but important bug fixes. However, users can enjoy a new promising method for catchment area calculation from DEM named 'Multiple Triangular Flow Direction', which has been contributed by Thomas Grabs. SAGA's developers welcome any help from the community in working through the bug list more systematically.
