Parameters:¶
- output=name [required]
-
Name for output raster map - dip=float [required]
-
Dip of plane in degrees
Default: 0.0 - azimuth=float [required]
-
Azimuth of the plane in degrees
Default: 0.0 - easting=float [required]
-
Easting coordinate of a point on the plane - northing=float [required]
-
Northing coordinate of a point on the plane - elevation=float [required]
-
Elevation coordinate of a point on the plane - type=string
-
Type of raster map to be created
Storage type for resultant raster map
Options: CELL, FCELL, DCELL
Default: FCELL
CELL: Integer
FCELL: Single precision floating point
DCELL: Double precision floating point
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.
The angle orientations of the azimuth parameter increase
counter-clockwise, i.e., 0 degree = N, 45 degree = NW, 90 degree = W
etc.
Increasing values of the dip parameter progressively lower (or dip) the northern half of the plane, and incline the southern half, assuming the azimuth parameter is held constant at 0 degrees.
NOTES¶
g.region -c provides the easting and northing coordinates for the center of the current region.
CELL (integer) maps take less disk space than FCELLs (floating point), which in turn take up less space than DCELLs (double precision floating point).
EXAMPLE¶
A tilted plane in the North Carolina sample dataset region:
# set computational region g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m -p # get center coordinates as an example g.region -c # get terrain height at point r.what map=elev_lid792_1m coordinates=638650.0,220375.0 # shows elevation: 116.7734 # generate tilted plane r.plane myplane30 dip=30 az=75 east=638650.0 north=220375.0 \
elev=116.7734 type=FCELL
