- Suppress printing of PPM header
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output

- Name of input raster map
- output=name
- Name for new PPM file (use '-' for stdout)
- Default: <rasterfilename>.ppm
r.out.ppm converts a GRASS raster map into a PPM image
at the pixel resolution of the CURRENTLY DEFINED REGION.
To get the resolution and region settings of the raster map, run:
g.region -p raster=[mapname]
before running r.out.ppm.
By default the PPM file created is 24-bit color, rawbits storage.
You can use the -g flag to force r.out.ppm to
output an 8-bit greyscale instead.
The greyscale conversion uses the NTSC conversion:
Y = .30*Red + .59*Green + .11*Blue
One pixel is written for each cell value, so if ew_res and
ns_res differ, the aspect ratio of the resulting image will be off.
A few ppm file comments are written: the name of the GRASS
raster map, resolution, etc. Although these are perfectly legal,
I've found one PD image utility that chokes on them, so if you need
a commentless PPM file, use '
out=- > outfile.ppm'. (When sending
output to stdout, no comments are written.)
You can create a PNG image with NULL values represented by a transparent
background by using the
PNG driver with
GRASS_RENDER_TRANSPARENT set to TRUE.
Alternatively, you can use the
pnmtopng program from
netpbm to do this:
r.out.ppm raster
pnmtopng -transparent white raster.ppm > raster.png
d.out.file,
r.out.ascii,
r.out.gdal,
r.out.mpeg,
r.out.png,
r.out.ppm3
