NAME
r.in.tiff - Converts a TIFF (8bit) raster file to a GRASS raster file.
(GRASS Raster Data Import Program)
SYNOPSIS
r.in.tiff [-v] input=name output=name
DESCRIPTION
This program imports a TIFF raster file (8bit) to a GRASS raster file.
Output is placed in the /cell directory
under the user's current GRASS mapset.
Flag:
- -v
- Verbose mode
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of an existing TIFF raster file to be imported.
- output=name
- Name to be assigned to resultant binary raster map layer.
The program prompts the user to enter the name of the TIFF raster file to be
converted and the name to be assigned to the GRASS raster file
to contain the resultant image. Currently "TIFF/uncompressed", "TIFF/LZW-compression" and TIFF/PackBits-compression" formats are supported.
The user should adjust boundary coordinates stored in the cell header after
import using r.support
.
The user must, of course, first create the TIFF raster file to be
converted (e.g., from a scanning system that produces TIFF raster file format).
NOTE
The TIFF 24bit format is currently not supported.
