See r.pack/r.unpack in the Grass Add-ons. I use these scripts for moving rasters around from computer to computer: http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_AddOns#Raster_add-ons The r.pack script uses a MatLab format file as an intermediary, and is apparently a decent universal format for storing rasters in. >I understand (I think) the need to set-up properly a LOCATION and import >the data.

I've wondered how to do this as well. ~ Eric. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
