NAME

r.out.kml

DESCRIPTION

r.out.kml creates KML and image files suitable for Google Earth from a GRASS raster map. Alternatively the user may create a compressed KMZ file by using the -z flag.

NOTES

KML expects data to be in Latitude-Longitude using the WGS84 datum and EGM96 vertical datum. This script will work for non-geographic map projections, but only if the projection's local deviation from true-north (the convergence angle) is small enough to ensure correct output. You can use the r.proj module from a Latitude-Longitude location to reproject maps if needed. At this time vertical datum is not checked by this module as support for it is relatively new in r.support and r.info.

KMZ output requires the "zip" program to be installed.

Transparency for NULL cells in PNG images is automatically enabled if the version of GRASS used supports it.
