DESCRIPTION

t.rast.to.rast3 is designed to convert a space time raster dataset (STRDS) into a space
time voxel cube. A space time voxel cube is a 3 dimensional raster map layer (3D raster
map or voxel map layer) that as time as unit for the z-dimension.

A space time raster dataset that should be converted into a space time voxel cube must
have a valid temporal topology. Hence, overlapping or inclusion of time stamps is not
allowed. The granularity of the STRDS is used to set the resolution of the 3D raster map
layer and to sample the registered time stamped raster map layers.

Gaps between raster map layer in the STRDS will be represented by NULL values in the voxel
map layer.

NOTES

The reference time for all space time voxel cubes is 1900-01-0100:00:00. This allows the
alignment space time voxel cubes with different granularities.

Be aware that the granularity of a STRDS is used to sample time stamped map layers! If you
have gaps between monthly intervals that have the size of a second, the monthly intervals
will be sampled by a second based granularity as well. This may result in millions of
space time voxel cube layers!

EXAMPLE

To create a voxel map layer from a subset of the tempmean_monthly space time dataset, run:
# create the subset for 2012 data
t.rast.extract input=tempmean_monthly output=tempmean_monthly_later_2012 \
where="start_time >= ’2012-01-01’"
# set the right 3D region
g.region -p3 res3=500
# convert to 3D raster map
t.rast.to.rast3 input=tempmean_monthly_later_2012@climate_2009_2012 output=tempmean_monthly_2012
t.info type=raster_3d input=tempmean_monthly_2012
