DESCRIPTION

48       r.in.arc allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster map layer from
49       an ESRI ARC/INFO ascii GRID file with (optional) title.
50
51       The ARC/INFO ascii GRID file header has 6 lines:
52            ncols:
53            nrows:
54            xllcorner:
55            yllcorner:
56            cellsize:
57        or alternatively (not supported by r.in.arc, but by r.in.gdal):
58            ncols:
59            nrows:
60            xllcenter:
61            yllcenter:
62            cellsize:
63

NOTES

66       r.in.arc handles floating point cell values. The mult option allows the
67       number  of significant figures of a floating point cell to be increased
68       before importing. Multiples of ten are the most functional multipliers.
