Hi,
a user in the German lanuage FOSSGIS talk list is confused about the message
"Input raster must be of type CELL"
I tend to agree since "CELL" speak is not that obvious. This is the code:
raster/r.thin/io.c
int open_file(char *name)
{
...
/* open raster map */
cell_file = Rast_open_old(name, "");
if (Rast_is_reclass(name, "", rname, rmapset) <= 0 &&
Rast_get_map_type(cell_file) != CELL_TYPE) {
Rast_close(cell_file);
G_fatal_error(_("Input raster must be of type CELL."));
}
Looking at
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/MessageStandardization
I don't see any best practice.
Any wording suggestions to rephrase the message?
thanks
Markus
