Parameters:


Name of the input space time raster dataset

Name of a space time raster dataset archive

Path to the directory where output is written
If not given, the default is the current working directory
Default: ./

Compression method of the tar archive
Options: no, gzip, bzip2
Default: bzip2

The export format of a single raster map
Supported are GTiff, AAIGrid via r.out.gdal and the GRASS package format of r.pack
Options: GTiff, AAIGrid, pack
Default: GTiff

Data type
Supported only for GTiff
Options: Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Float32, Float64, CInt16, CInt32, CFloat32, CFloat64

Creation option(s) to pass to the output format driver
In the form of "NAME=VALUE", separate multiple entries with a comma

Metadata key(s) and value(s) to include
In the form of "META-TAG=VALUE", separate multiple entries with a comma. Not supported by all output format drivers.

Assign a specified nodata value to output bands
If given, the nodata value is always written to metadata even if there are no NULL cells in the input band (enhances output compatibility).

WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword used in the temporal GIS framework
Example: start_time > ’2001-01-01 12:30:00’

DESCRIPTION

t.rast.export exports a space time raster dataset (strds) as a tar archive. The archive contains the raster maps either as GeoTIFF files or as GRASS binary files exported using r.pack. The map specific color tables are exported in case of GeoTIFF files. In addition several metadata files are created in the archive that describe the temporal layout. All time stamps are stored in the file "list.txt", for each map one row. The name of the map, the start time and the end time are written. In case of a time instance, the start time is equal to the end time. The "init.txt" file stores the temporal type, the number of maps, the chosen export format and some other metadata. The "proj.txt" file stores the coordinate reference system information as a proj4 string of the project the space time raster dataset was exported from. The file "readme.txt" describes the file format. The output of r.info for each raster map in the space time dataset is stored in "metadata.txt".

The tar archive can be compressed using the compress option. Gzip and bzip2 (default) are available. A where option can be specified, to export only a subset of the space time dataset. Archives exported with t.rast.export can be imported with t.rast.import.

NOTES

The name of output file has to carry the suffix of the archive type, the following suffix can be used:

  • .tar in the case of compress=no
  • .tar.bzip2 in the case of compress=bzip2
  • .tar.gzip in the case of compress=gzip

EXAMPLE

In this example, all the raster maps of 2012 of "tempmean_monthly" will be exported:

t.rast.export input=tempmean_monthly output=tempmean_monthly.tar.bzip2 \

where="start_time >= ’2012-01-01’ and start_time < ’2013-01-01’" tar xvjf precipitation_daily.tar.bzip2 2012_01_tempmean.tif 2012_01_tempmean.color 2012_02_tempmean.tif 2012_02_tempmean.color 2012_03_tempmean.tif 2012_03_tempmean.color 2012_04_tempmean.tif 2012_04_tempmean.color 2012_05_tempmean.tif 2012_05_tempmean.color 2012_06_tempmean.tif 2012_06_tempmean.color 2012_07_tempmean.tif 2012_07_tempmean.color 2012_08_tempmean.tif 2012_08_tempmean.color 2012_09_tempmean.tif 2012_09_tempmean.color 2012_10_tempmean.tif 2012_10_tempmean.color 2012_11_tempmean.tif 2012_11_tempmean.color 2012_12_tempmean.tif 2012_12_tempmean.color list.txt proj.txt init.txt readme.txt metadata.txt cat init.txt stds_type=strds format=GTiff temporal_type=absolute semantic_type=mean number_of_maps=48 north=320000.0 south=10000.0 east=935000.0 west=120000.0 cat proj.txt +proj=lcc +lat_1=36.16666666666666 +lat_2=34.33333333333334 +lat_0=33.75 +lon_0=-79 +x_0=609601.22 +y_0=0 +no_defs +a=6378137 +rf=298.257222101 +towgs84=0.000,0.000,0.000 +to_meter=1 cat list.txt 2012_01_tempmean|2012-01-01 00:00:00|2012-02-01 00:00:00 2012_02_tempmean|2012-02-01 00:00:00|2012-03-01 00:00:00 2012_03_tempmean|2012-03-01 00:00:00|2012-04-01 00:00:00 2012_04_tempmean|2012-04-01 00:00:00|2012-05-01 00:00:00 2012_05_tempmean|2012-05-01 00:00:00|2012-06-01 00:00:00 2012_06_tempmean|2012-06-01 00:00:00|2012-07-01 00:00:00 2012_07_tempmean|2012-07-01 00:00:00|2012-08-01 00:00:00 2012_08_tempmean|2012-08-01 00:00:00|2012-09-01 00:00:00 2012_09_tempmean|2012-09-01 00:00:00|2012-10-01 00:00:00 2012_10_tempmean|2012-10-01 00:00:00|2012-11-01 00:00:00 2012_11_tempmean|2012-11-01 00:00:00|2012-12-01 00:00:00 2012_12_tempmean|2012-12-01 00:00:00|2013-01-01 00:00:00 cat readme.txt This space time raster dataset was exported with t.rast.export of GRASS GIS 7 Files:
