[GRASSLIST:1707] Copying data between locations

Hi all,

I wonder if r.out.ascii/v.out.ascii
can be used to copy data from
location to another.

I have several different locations
with maps of different scale.

Can I use r.out.ascii/r.in.ascii
to copy data from one to another?

What if the locations are in
different projections?

Thanks in advance,
Artemis.

Artemis,

If you have data in several different directories that you want
to consolidate do this:

1) Put soft links in your main data directory for all your mapsets (if
they
are in differet locations altogether. This is not necessary if you keep
all
your mapsets in the same place.

2) Use g.mapsets in GRASS and select all the mapsets you wish to
view.

3) Use g.copy command to copy your maps into one mapset.

You will need to set the projections to the same one if you want
to use them all at the same time. This is easily done after you copy
the
data using g.copy (it doesn't requre things be the same)

Let me know if this helps,

Bruce
