Does r.in.gdal use the rrd files (the ones that build pyramids to speed up viewing) when importing img files? A bunch of land cover images that I downloaded came with rrd files (in addition to the imgs, and I'm trying to figure out if grass uses them).

Kirk,

r.in.gdal does not exactly import overviews from any of it's input formats.
However, GDAL does support overviews in Imagine files (.rrd files) so if
you tried to import a big imagine files withoverviews into a low resolution
location r.in.gdal would pull from an overview to speed up the import.

Thanks Frank,

Does r.in.gdal know to do that automagically (as long as the rrd files are in the same directory as the img files)? or is there a flag that needs to be set on the import?

Kirk,

It is automatic as is the nature of GDAL for this sort of thing.

Best regards,
