r.in.wms handles all of downloading and importing raster data
from
OGC
WMS and
OGC
WMTS web mapping servers. It only needs be told the
desired data to collect (bounds and resolution) via a region, the
server to get the data from, and the layer or layers to get. It
downloads the data in tiles, reprojects it, imports it, and patches it
back together.
To understand the data you are getting it is necessary to look at the
capabilities of the WMS server. This should be available via a capabilities
request (see examples)
If possible, the EPSG code of the current project should be used with the
srs option to avoid unnecessary reprojection.
When using GDAL WMS driver (driver=WMS_GDAL), the GDAL library
needs to be built with WMS support,
see GDAL WMS manual page
for details.
Into the parameter
layers the name of the
TiledGroup need to
be inserted from Tile Service file. Time variable can be specified
in
urlparams parameter,
e.g:
urlparams='time=2012-1-1'.
