[GRASSLIST:7745] Re: Raster Resolution (help requested)

In the past I have worked mainly with RASTER layers in GRASS and they

just worked (some how). Now I am working alot with vectors in GRASS.
For instance I have a region that was created througha v.in.ogr. Now
when I bring in the coresponding raster maps they are verry blocky
unless I view them from a far out zoom. My region settings are

projection: 0 (x,y)
zone: 0
north: 44.86371257
south: 44.67956501
west: -76.34802196
east: -76.08834984
nsres: 0.00920738
ewres: 0.01298361
rows: 20
cols: 20

I created a DEM from contour lines (v.surf.rst) and the results are
undesireable due to the chopyness of the raster. for instance instead

of smooth DEM I have lakes that contain one or two raster cells. The
same area would contain MANY contour lines. Cheers

A quick explanantion of what I've done and how to increase the
resolution of the rasters in my project would be appreciated.

Increase the resolution in a lat/lon location to 1-arcsec with:

g.region res=00:00:01

(degree:min:sec)
then check the number of rows and columns you have. Set as needed, but
for a crisp display on the screen you will want to at least match the
screen resolution, ie 1000x1000 or so.
