Summary
System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) is a hybrid GIS software
with a special "Application Programming Interface" (API) for geographic data
processing. The SAGA API supports grid data like digital terrain models and
satellite images, vector data, and tables. This is mainly done by the Graphical
User Interface (GUI). Together this results in SAGA's true ... strength: a fast
growing set of geoscientifc methods, bundled in exchangeable Module Libraries

SAGA is written in the widespread and powerful C++ programming language and
follows an object oriented approach. Moreover it relies on the GNU Public
License, which means it is an open source project. All this designates SAGA to
be a first choice tool for everybody who works in the field of geosciences, in
particular for those who want transparent state of the art methods.
