Mar 10, 2013 at 12:29 comment added n1kn0k The "mask" is a styling effect using transparency over neighboring features (say 10%) to highlight the POI feature
Mar 9, 2013 at 9:57 comment added Curlew mhh, i don't really get what you want to achieve with this 'mask' as i know the word only in context with raster files. Maybe you can explain a bit more by editing your question.
Mar 9, 2013 at 5:12 comment added n1kn0k After adding a more current repo: ppa:johanvdw/saga-gis. It now works. The tool though is for raster layers. I forgot to mention I'm working on vector shapefiles.

Mar 8, 2013 at 12:09 comment added Curlew did you compile it yourself or use a pre-compiled binary? On linux Sextante should be able to automatically determine your saga install folder, therefore there is a problem with your saga install. Download the latest src and compile it / install systemwide sourceforge.net/projects/saga-gis/files/SAGA%20-%202.0
Mar 8, 2013 at 11:56 comment added n1kn0k I can see that now "Grid Masking" but I'm encountering problems with SAGA and Ubuntu 12.04. An error pops out: "It seems that SAGA is not correctly installed in your system. Please install it before running SAGA algorithms." When I ran saga_cmd, I found: error: Library does not contain executable modules [librecreations_games.so]
Mar 7, 2013 at 23:02 comment added Curlew If you installed Sextante and SAGA and have correctly linked the SAGA-Install dir in the Sextante options, then the function should appear as "Grid Masking". Is this what you want? I am not so sure anymore and the word mask has been used in many different contexts.
Mar 7, 2013 at 22:59 comment added n1kn0k @ Thanks for suggesting this. I'm trying it out but couldn't find this "create grid mask" from the SAGA extension of Sextante. Am I supposed to install anything else?
