Hi list,

I’m trying to load in a PNG into Grass 6.o but I get an “Illegal south” error on some files but not on others. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

Thanks,

You are trying to load a non-georeferenced map into a lat/lon location,
and the y pixel values go beyond +/- 90, which when considered as
latitude is an error. The solution is to load non-georeferenced data
into a XY location, then set bounds with r.region or i.points+i.rectify,
r.proj.

see also the r.in.gdal location= option.
