DESCRIPTION
The r.region program allows the user to manage the boundaries
of a raster map. These boundaries can be set by the user directly
and/or set from a region definition file (stored under the
windows directory in the user's current mapset), a raster
or vector map, or a 3dview file.
The align parameter sets the current resolution equal to
that of the named raster map, and align the boundaries to a row and column
edge in the named map. Alignment only moves the existing boundaries outward
to the edges of the next nearest cell in the named raster map -- not to the
named map's edges. To perform the latter function, use the
raster=name option.
NOTES
After all updates have been applied, the raster map's resolution
settings are recomputed from the boundaries and the number of rows and
columns in the raster map.
The n=value may also be specified as a
function of its current value: n=n+value
increases the current northing, while n=n-value
decreases it. This is also true for s=value,
e=value, and w=value.
EXAMPLES
Assign absolute coordinates to map:
r.region map=mymap n=220750 s=220000 w=638300 e=639000
r.region map=mymap n=n+100 e=e+100 w=w+100 s=s+100
