NAME

t.rast.out.vtk - Exports space time raster dataset as VTK time series.

KEYWORDS

temporal, export, raster, VTK, time

SYNOPSIS

t.rast.out.vtk

t.rast.out.vtk --help

t.rast.out.vtk [-pcg] input=name directory=string [elevation=name] [where=sql_query] [null=float] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-p: Create VTK point data instead of VTK cell data (if no elevation map is given)
-c: Correct the coordinates to fit the VTK-OpenGL precision
-g: Export files using the space time dataset granularity for equidistant time between maps, where statement will be ignored
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

input=name [required]: Name of the input space time raster dataset
directory=string [required]: Path to the export directory
elevation=name: Name of input elevation raster map
where=sql_query: WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword used in the temporal GIS framework; Example: start_time > '2001-01-01 12:30:00'
null=float: Value to represent no data cell; Default: -99999.99

DESCRIPTION

This module exports all maps registered in a space time raster datasets as VTK legacy files using a numerical numbering scheme. The VTK files can be visualized with any VTK based visualize. Our preferred tool is ParaView. The VTK legacy files are created using r.out.vtk.

EXAMPLE

In this simple example we create several raster maps with random values and one elevation map. The random value raster maps are registered in a space time raster dataset. All maps of this space time raster dataset are exported using t.rast.out.vtk into the directory /tmp/test1.

mkdir /tmp/export
t.rast.out.vtk input=precip_abs expdir=/tmp/export elevation=elevation

ls -1 /tmp/export
