DESCRIPTION

r.in.ascii allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster map layer from an ASCII raster
input file with (optional) TITLE.

The GRASS ASCII input file has a header section which describes the location and size of
the data, followed by the data itself.

The header has 6 lines:
north: xxxxxx.xx
south: xxxxxx.xx
east: xxxxxx.xx
west: xxxxxx.xx
rows: r
cols: c
The north, south, east, and west field values entered are the coordinates of the edges of
the geographic region. The rows and cols field values entered describe the dimensions of
the matrix of data to follow. The data which follows is r rows of c integers.

Optionally the following parameters can be defined in the header section:
null: nn
type: float
multiplier: 2.

"null" defines a string or number to be converted to NULL value (no data).
"type" defines the data type (int, float double) and is not required.
"multiplier" is an optional parameter to multiply each cell value.

NOTES

The geographic coordinates north, south, east, and west describe the outer edges of the
geographic region. They run along the edges of the cells at the edge of the geographic
region and not through the center of the cells at the edges. The NW value occurs at the
beginning of the first line of data, and the SW value occurs at the beginning of the last
line of data.

The data (which follows the header section) must contain r x c values, but it is not
necessary that all the data for a row be on one line. A row may be split over many lines.

r.in.ascii may import integer, floating point, or double cell types using the -i, -f, and
-d flags, respectively.

The header information in ESRI Raster ASCII files differs from GRASS. To convert an
Arc/Info (ArcView) ASCII grid file into GRASS, see r.in.gdal.

SURFER (Golden Software) ASCII files may be imported by passing the -s flag.
