(GRASS Raster Data Export Program)

SYNOPSIS

r.out.tiff [-pcv] input=name output=name

DESCRIPTION

This program converts a TIFF raster file (8bit) to a GRASS raster file. Output is placed in the /cell directory under the user's current GRASS mapset.

Flags:

-p
TIFF Pallete output (8bit instead of 24bit).
-c
Compress with LZW routine.
-v
Verbose mode

Parameters:

input=name
Name of an existing GRASS raster file to be exported.
output=name
Name of new TIFF image file.

The program prompts the user to enter the name of the TIFF raster file to be converted and the name to be assigned to the GRASS raster file to contain the resultant image. Currently "TIFF/uncompressed", "TIFF/LZW-compression" and TIFF/PackBits-compression" formats are supported.

The user may adjust region and resolution before export using g.region
