NAME
r.plane - Creates raster plane map given dip (inclination), aspect (azimuth), and one point
KEYWORDS
raster, elevation
SYNOPSIS
r.plane
r.plane help
r.plane name=string dip=float azimuth=float easting=float northing=float elevation=float type=string [--overwrite]
Flags:
- --overwrite
- Force overwrite of output files
Parameters:
- name=string
- Name of raster plane to be created.
- dip=float
- Dip of plane. Value must be between -90 and 90 degrees.
- Default: 0.0
- azimuth=float
- Azimuth of the plane. Value must be between 0 and 360 degrees.
- Default: 0.0
- easting=float
- Easting coordinate of a point on the plane.
- northing=float
- Northing coordinate of a point on the plane.
- elevation=float
- Elevation coordinate of a point on the plane.
- type=string
- Type of the raster map to be created.
- Options: int,float,double
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 azimuth are: 0 degree = N, 90 degree = E etc.
HINTS
g.region -c provides the easting and northing coordinates for
the center of the current region.
int maps take less disk space than floats, which in turn
take up less space than doubles. (but can be less exact)
EXAMPLE
A tilted plane in the Spearfish region:
r.plane myplane45 dip=45 az=90 east=599490 north=4920855 \
elev=1000 type=float
