Hi, I just added support for GeoTIFF export from d.out.file in 6.4svn.
Resolution is not as good as if you use r.out.gdal or r.out.tiff, but it lets you export a map with multiple raster and vector overlays, decorations, grid lines, etc. that you compose in the xmon. e.g. for use as a backdrop in some navigation software. (overlay bathymetry DEM of river channel over an orthophoto) slight contributing motivation: I am not sure of a good way to merge raster maps with different color tables (imagery data). In the past I have tried 'r.mapcalc r# g# b#' operators+r.patch, d.out.png+r.in.gdal+r.region, neither was much fun. I guess g.pnmcomp could help but I fear the added complexity of passing the data through the display drivers will introduce noise. Perhaps gdal_merge.py? (see r.in.wms mess WRT merging paletted GIF images) please test, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
