Input of Raster Bitmaps

Hi,

I am loocking for a tool to import TIFF or PBM Bitmap Images into
GRASS.

Using r.in.ppm I need a ppm-file which is 24 times larger
than the bitmap file. This is a problem using images of about
12000 by 12000 pixels. To use r.in.sunrast i have to convert to
sun-rasterfile. I got the same problem (r.in.sunrast dont accept
images with 1 bit depth) and in addition, my converting tool
(pnm-tools) got out of memory, because it tried to allocate
memory for the whole image.

Does anybode have an idea how to solve the problem ?

Thanks in advance,

  Wilhelm Hagg

Hello !

I thought there was a r.in.tiff program but I was looking around and
couldn't find that program myself last week. What is the story here.

I have some tiff files in TIFF group P format that I would like to import
to Grass. What is the best way to do this.

I would also like to convert TIFF group P file to multiply TIFF group
B files. Is there a direct tool to do that? I hope some people out
there have some clever answers. I was looking at the public domain
tiff-tool but found no way to carry out this transformation.

Hi, Lars
Check out src.contrib/SCS/raster/r.tiff. It should compile r.in.tiff and
r.out.tiff. Regards,
