Subject: export of AAIGrid and arc incorrect
Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs 08.05.2006
Hello,
concerning the export of AAIGrid (r.out.gdal) and ArcInfo Ascii Grid
(r.out.arc) an incorrect output occurs if the nsres/ewres in GRASS is not
equal - AAIGrid/arc stores only one value for res.
The difference between the resolutions is (in my case) small (3-> decimal
place) hence the incorrect export is only visible if high numbers of row/col
exist (high resolution imagery/covering continental scales).
The remedy is to resample the image to an equal nsres ewres. The problem is
located in the data format and not GRASS so I would suggest to either
1. prompt a warning if nsres != ewres
or
2. do an automatic resampling with equal nsres/ewres with an info prompt
otherwise the exported files have a wrong geolocation.
regards, Martin
