Default: pipe
DESCRIPTION¶
The r.out.xyz module exports a raster map as a list of x,y,z values into an ASCII text file.
NOTES¶
This module will by default not export x,y coordinates for raster cells containing a NULL value. This includes cells masked by a raster MASK. Using the flag -i also these raster cells will be included in the exported data.
This module, as all GRASS raster modules, will export cells based on the current region settings. See the g.region module for details.
The r.out.ascii module should be used to export an array (of size row x column) containing z values.
r.out.xyz can combine several input raster maps, which can be convenient when it comes to e.g. produce ASCII point cloud files.
r.out.xyz is simply a front-end to "r.stats -1g[n]".
EXAMPLES¶
In this example, a LiDAR elevation map in the North Carolina
sample dataset is exported to CSV format.
g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m -p r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m output=elev_lid792_1m.csv separator=","
In this example, elevation data from the North Carolina dataset
are exported along with R,G,B triplet of the related orthophoto into a
combined file (requires the import of the supplementary high-resolution
color orthophoto, here called "ortho2010_t792"):
g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m res=1 -a -p r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m,ortho2010_t792.red,ortho2010_t792.green,ortho2010_t792.blue \
separator=space output=pointcloud.asc # validate: X Y Z R G B head -n 3 pointcloud.asc 638300.5 220749.5 126.338218689 78 84 71 638301.5 220749.5 126.3381958008 93 101 86 638302.5 220749.5 126.3414840698 68 77 59
TODO¶
Implement this script as a r.out.ascii option?
