NAME
r.out.tiff - Exports a GRASS raster file to a 8/24bit TIFF image file at the pixel resolution of the CURRENTLY DEFINED REGION.
(GRASS Raster Data Export Program)
GRASS VERSION
4.x, 5.x (versions differ)
SYNOPSIS
r.out.tiff [-ptlv] input=name output=name [compression=name
DESCRIPTION
This program converts a GRASS raster file to a TIFF raster file. Output may be
8 or 24 bit (TrueColor). Optionally, a TIFF World file compatible with ESRI's
and other's products may be output.
OPTIONS
Flags:
- -p
- TIFF Palette output (8bit instead of 24bit)
- -t
- Output TIFF world file (output.tfw)
- -l
- Output Tiled TIFF
- -v
- Verbose mode
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of an existing GRASS raster file to be exported.
- output=name
- Name of new TIFF image file.
- compression=name
- Type of compression to use for TIFF file.
Options: none, packbit, deflate
Default: none
The program prompts the user for the name of a GRASS raster file, an output TIFF
file, whether an 8 or 24 bit format is desired, and whether or not to create a
TIFF world file. Currently only uncompressed, packpit, or
deflate TIFF files are written. These output formats are known to be
compatible with r.in.tiff.
When writing with "-l" option, tiles are written at 128x128 pixels. For
programs that can utilize tiles, it can help speed up some drawing
operations.
The user may adjust region and resolution before export using g.region.
