DESCRIPTION

48       The r.out.bin program exports a GRASS raster  map  to  a  binary  array
49       file.  Optionally,  output  can be sent to standard output (stdout) for
50       direct input (pipe) into other applications. Data is exported according
51       to  the  original  GRASS  raster type (e.g. float). If the "-i" flag is
52       specified, an integer  array  is  output.  The  region  parameters  are
53       printed to stderr.
54

NOTES

56       With  the  -h  flag,  data can be directly used by GMT as Grid Format 1
57       (float) or 2 (short). For example:
58       r.out.bin -h input=grass.raster output=new.grd
59       grdinfo new.grd=1 (if float)
60
61
62       Exported data can be piped directly into the GMT program xyz2grd.
63       r.out.bin input=grass.raster output=- | xyz2grd -R....  -ZTLf -
64        The example uses the GMT program xyz2grd with the -ZTLf flag  indicat‐
65       ing that a float array was output.
