DESCRIPTION

r.out.gdal outputs GRASS raster maps into various GIS formats as supported by GDAL. This script is based on 'gdal_translate', it's parameters are similar to those of gdal_translate'. For possible metaopt parameters see the 'supported formats' pages of GDAL. The createopt may be used to create TFW or World files ("TFW=YES", WORLDFILE=ON").

SUPPORTED FORMATS

The set of supported formats written by r.out.gdal depend on the local GDAL installation. Available may be (incomplete list):



AAIGrid: Arc/Info ASCII Grid

BMP: MS Windows Device Independent Bitmap

BSB: Maptech BSB Nautical Charts

DTED: DTED Elevation Raster

ELAS: ELAS

ENVI: ENVI .hdr Labelled

FIT: FIT Image

GIF: Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)

GTiff: GeoTIFF

HDF4Image: HDF4 Dataset

HFA: Erdas Imagine Images (.img)

JPEG2000: JPEG-2000 part 1 (ISO/IEC 15444-1)

JPEG: JPEG JFIF

MEM: In Memory Raster

MFF2: Atlantis MFF2 (HKV) Raster

MFF: Atlantis MFF Raster

NITF: National Imagery Transmission Format

PAux: PCI .aux Labelled

PCIDSK: PCIDSK Database File

PNG: Portable Network Graphics

PNM: Portable Pixmap Format (netpbm)

VRT: Virtual Raster

XPM: X11 PixMap Format

NOTES

When writing out GeoTIFF format for users of ESRI software or ImageMagick, the band interleaving should be switched to pixel interleaving using createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" .
