DESCRIPION
r.in.swisstopo imports a digital elevation model from swisstopo into a Grass raster map and interpolates it into the current mapset's resolution. The name of the raster map is defined by the user input. A further raster layer (with the appendix '_origres', if it exists already, it will be OVERWRITTEN!) is automatically created and contains the input data in its original resolution. Resultant raster maps will contain elevation data in meters.
r.in.xyz and r.interp.resamp are invoked from within r.in.swisstopo.
Manual download and installation of the module (without svn)

Installation:
You might need to have root privileges for the following. If you do not have these, please ask your system administrator
- Simply copy the file 'r.in.swisstopo' into your $GISBASE/scripts/ directory.
(To find out your $GISBASE directory, call the following command from within a GRASS terminal:
env | grep $GISBASE)
Or directly copy the file from within the GRASS terminal with something like:
cp r.in.swisstopo $GISBASE/scripts/
- Additionally, you might have to make the script executable with:
chmod +x $GISBASE/scripts/r.in.swisstopo
- Finally, copy this file (description.html) into the $GISBASE/docs/html/ directory and name it r.in.swisstopo.html
That's it!
