man r.plane () - Creates raster plane map given dip (inclination), aspect (azimuth), and one point

NAME

r.plane - Creates raster plane map given dip (inclination), aspect (azimuth), and one point

SYNOPSIS

r.plane

r.plane help

r.plane dip=float az=float ea=float no=float el=float type=string name=string

Parameters:

"dip=float
Dip of plane. Value must be between -90 and 90 degrees. Default: 0.0
"az=float
Azimuth of the plane. Value must be between 0 and 360 degrees. Default: 0.0
"ea=float
Easting coordinate of a point on the plane.
"no=float
Northing coordinate of a point on the plane.
"el=float
Elevation coordinate of a point on the plane.
"type=string
Type of the raster map to be created. Options: int,float,double
"name=string
Name of raster plane to be created.

DESCRIPTION

r.plane creates a tilted plane raster map given user-specified parameters for inclination, azimuth, and the geographic location of a point on the plane.

HINTS

g.region -c provides the easting and northing coordinates for the center of the current region.

int maps take less disk space than floats, which in turn take up less space than doubles. (but can be less exact)
