[GRASSLIST:6541] r.out.tiff

hey,
thanks to help of the list i rectified my scanned image.

now i want to export it as tiff in order to work with it in other gis tools.
i started r.out.tiff but although i seemed to rum for hours there was no progress.

the rectified image has 13212 rows and 19503 cols, its size: 31 mb, the rectification took 2 hours.
i run cygwin/grass 6.1 on an athlon 1000, 512 mb ram, windows xp

are there experiences about how long export to tiff should take ?

cheers

thank you for the hint.

i tried r.out.gdal but did not succeed:
1.attempt:

r.out.gdal input=freiraum_wil_rec format=GTIFF output=freiraum_wil createopt=WORLDFILE=ON
ERROR: output Type not specified

2.attempt:

r.out.gdal input=freiraum_wil_rec format=GTIFF output=freiraum_wil createopt=WORLDFILE=ON type=BYTE
Signal 11

so my question is:
what is the task of “type” -> what “type” is for me to choose?
what means “Signal 11”?
have i done something completely wrong?

cheers

so my question is:
what is the task of _type_ -> what _type_ is for me to choose?

r.out.gdal --help

type file type
      options: Byte,Int16,UInt16,UInt32,Int32,Float32,Float64,CInt16,
               CInt32,CFloat32,CFloat64

depending on if raster contains CELL, FCELL, or DCELL data, you might
use Int32, Float32, or Float64 e.g.

what means _Signal 11_?

It's a segmentation fault. Bug in the program.

have i done something completely wrong?

shot in the dark: maybe just capitalization?, try
format=GTiff type=Byte
?

You can do without the world file, it is stored internally, view with
gdalinfo. Try without, maybe that is causing the error.

sorry for my ignorance,
how do i know if it is CELL, FCELL, or DCELL ?

i tried all the Types and abandoned the WORLDFILE option but the result was always Signal11.
is r.out.gdal not a "standard" function that should run without problems?

r.info

the result of r.info as follows:

so its CELL
does that give you any hints about the cause of Signal 11?
