NAME

ISMgrd2cell - Convert an ISM grid data file into a GRASS (binary) raster map layer.
(GRASS Raster Data Import Program)

SYNOPSIS

ISMgrd2cell
ISMgrd2cell help
ISMgrd2cell input=name output=name mult=multiplier

DESCRIPTION

ISMgrd2cell allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster map layer from an ISM grid data file with (optional) multiplier.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

Parameters:

input=name 20
Name of ISM grid data input file.
output=name 20
Name to be assigned to binary GRASS raster map layer files created.
mult=multiplier 20
Each grid data point is multiplied by this (floating point) number to produce the raster values (default = 1).

If the user simply types ISMgrd2cell without specifying parameter values on the command line, the program will prompt the user to enter these.

NOTES

Since GRASS raster values are integers, it may often be necessary to use mult when working with small or closely spaced values in the ISM grid data in order to produce a greater range in the raster file. Even though the user is allowed to use a floating point multiplier, remember that the final raster value is truncated to an integer.
