John Miller asks:
Let's take one group of files. They consist of 10201 lines of
ascii data, the fields being (separated by spaces):Longitude Latitude Elevation (as in the following example
records)
146.000 19.500 320
146.005 19.500 313The increment in LAT and LONG between data points is 0.005
degrees.My question:
What is the best way to import this data into a GRASS
mapset? Is my only option to convert the data to a
format suitable for r.in.ascii?
John,
You can import the data as sites, using s.in.ascii, and then convert it
to raster, using one of the options in s.menu. That's how I did it when
I imported DEM data for an area in British Columbia.
