NAME
     r.to.gnuplot - outputs a raster map in GNUPLOT format
     (GRASS Shell Script)

SYNOPSIS
     r.to.gnuplot help
     r.to.gnuplot name

DESCRIPTION
     r.to.gnuplot is a Bourne shell script that converts a raster
     map into a format suitable for plotting with g.gnuplot and
     writes the results to standard output.

OPTIONS
     This program runs non-interactively;  the user must state
     all parameter values on the command line.

     Parameter:

     name	       Name of a raster map layer.

EXAMPLE
     Typing the following at the command line:

	  r.to.gnuplot elevation > elev.dat

     will write the raster data to elev.dat.  After staring the
     GRASS graphics monitor, the following dialogue:

	  g.gnuplot
	  gnuplot> set parametric
	  gnuplot> set contour base
	  gnuplot> set nosurface
	  gnuplot> set view 180,0
	  gnuplot> splot 'elev.dat' notitle with lines

     will plot a contour map of elevation.

NOTES
     Similar procedures may be used to plot wire-mesh surfaces.

     g.gnuplot may be used to simultaneously plot surfaces and
     contours from multiple raster maps.

     Output may be saved as PostScript, FrameMaker, TeX, etc
     (approximately 2 dozen output formats).

FILES
     $GISBASE/scripts/r.to.gnuplot.
