DESCRIPTION
r.out.kml creates KML and image files suitable for Google Earth
from a GRASS raster map. Alternatively the user may create a compressed
KMZ file by using the -z flag.
NOTES
KML expects data to be in Latitude-Longitude using the WGS84 datum and
EGM96 vertical datum. This script will work for non-geographic map
projections, but only if the projection's local deviation from true-north
(the convergence angle) is small enough to ensure correct output. You can
use the r.proj module from a Latitude-Longitude location to
reproject maps if needed.
At this time vertical datum is not checked by this module as support for
it is relatively new in r.support and r.info.
KMZ output requires the "zip" program to be installed.
Transparency for NULL cells in PNG images is automatically enabled if the
version of GRASS used supports it.
