Dear all.
I am trying to work around with a problem of map size under Vista (>2G).
I was wondering if I use the command below I will get a raster
map with values integer and >=0.
r.mapcalc "Dem.new=if(Dem>=0,int(Dem),null())"
If the original DEM is of type DCELL, you can reduce file sizes with
r.mapcalc "DEM.float = float(DEM)"
because one DCELL value needs 8 byte whereas both FCELL and CELL values
need 4 bytes each.
Converting from FCELL to CELL doesn't make a big difference, I even
found that sometimes FCELL raster maps are higher compressed in GRASS
than CELL raster maps.
I would rather try to keep decimal places for elevation maps, results
are in my experience more accurate with floating point than with integer
(e.g. 1m vertical resolution) maps (notwithstanding that a vertical
resolution of say 0.1 micrometer is IMHO nonsense).
Just my .2c

As my original map have values positive and negative, as well as
it is fload, my question is if are there a way of I force my output
map accept only integers>=0. By the way, is there a way
of I know if a map is float or integer?
