NOTES

r.in.ign lets you query a dataset via a contract. Beware the conditions that come with it and terms of use that apply to data.

It is only a transitory module aiming at allowing french wmts support for GRASS 6.4 version (r.in.wms module fails at requesting this service, and r.in.wms.py Add-On does not correctly handle french projection systems (which operate nadgrid-based datum shifts). It is quite rough but easily adaptable to one's personnal needs.

Connecting to the WMTS streams of Géoportail is not straight, in cause a restricted access protected by a personal apiKey that comes with your contract. See practical details concerning registration on the official website.

EXAMPLE

This command returns the list of available layers for contract pi3cawp5p883ql4bdk3bhert owned by vincent :

r.in.ign -c apikey=pi3cawp5p883ql4bdk3bhert user=vincent password=******

r.in.ign -m apikey=pi3cawp5p883ql4bdk3bhert user=vincent password=****** wmtslayer=ORTHOIMAGERY.ORTHOPHOTOS tiletype=jpeg output=orthoign

Import cadastral parcels from IGN wmts server to a raster parcels:
