I can confirm this also with the new data set and ArcGIS. It looks like
r.out.gdal does not "see" the correct region and when the region is set
to the raster it adds one no-data row (or column - I don't remember now)
which is some huge negative number and that may be screwing up
the colors. I think that when my region was set smaller than the raster
the subset of data was OK - but I would have to check.
For convenience, it would be useful to add a flag to r.out.gdal to
export the entire raster map not just a subset given by the region.

I'm using today's Grass 6.3.svn source, gdal 1.5.0.

The following commands all produce tiffs that display completely black in off-the-shelf
image viewers in Ubuntu 7.10: (Eye of Gnome 2.20.1, GIMP 2.4.4)

$ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=Byte
$ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=Byte createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" $ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=Byte createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,PROFILE=GeoTIFF" $ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=Byte createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,PROFILE=BASELINE"

These commands give a completely blank raster in the same image viewers:

$ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=UInt16
$ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=UInt16 createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" $ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=UInt16 createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,PROFILE=GeoTIFF" $ r.out.gdal input=elevation.10m output=elevation.10m.tif type=UInt16 createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,PROFILE=BASELINE"

According to r.out.gdal manual, the type= parameter should be set to either Byte or UInt16 to preserve the color table. I can't get either type to output anything useful. Using any other type causes r.out.gdal to complain that the color tables won't be preserved. What am I missing here?

Even the example from the r.out.gdal manual page produces an error and a tiff that does not display anything:

$ r.out.gdal in=elevation.10m out=ned_elev10m.tif type=Float64 createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,TFW=YES"
Exporting to GDAL data type: Float64
ERROR 6: SetColorTable() only supported for Byte or UInt16 bands in TIFF format.
 100%
r.out.gdal complete.

Is a tiff without a color table even useful? I'd settle for a lossy, interpolated color table.

Normally I would just use r.out.tiff as a workaround, but I think this module ought to output georeferenced tiffs with sane color tables. In any case, I can't use the tiff-with-worldfile workaround; I need geotiffs with the projection info written into the header - *with* a color table.
