Comment:
for the xmon version use 'd.out.file format=geotiff'.
while this is possible it is not necessarily a good idea. it should only
be used when there is a need to composite multiple layers (scalebars,
decorations, and all) into a geotiff, which is generally a solution of
last resort.
from the d.out.file mane page:
{{{
GeoTIFF export is provided as a convenience. For
raster export it is generally preferable to use the
r.out.gdal or r.out.tiff modules. The advantage of
using d.out.file is that you can easily overlay
multiple raster maps, vector maps, and decorations
into the GeoTIFF at the expense of resolution and
quality. If you wish to minimize the negative
effects, use "g.region align=" or "g.region rast=",
then "g.region -g" or "r.info -g" to discover the
raster rows and columns of the map, and feed these
numbers into d.out.file's size parameter as
columns,rows.
