DESCRIPTION

50       This  program  converts a GRASS raster map to a TIFF raster map. Output
51       may be 8 or 24 bit (TrueColor).  Optionally, a TIFF World file compati‐
52       ble with ESRI's and other's products may be output.
53
54       The  program  prompts  the  user for the name of a GRASS raster map, an
55       output TIFF file, whether an 8 or 24 bit format is desired, and whether
56       or not to create a TIFF world file.  Currently only uncompressed, pack‐
57       pit, or deflate TIFF files are written.  These output formats are known
58       to be compatible with r.in.tiff.
59
60       The  output  filename  will  always  have the suffix .tif, and the Tiff
61       World file (if requested) .tfw. Any .tif or .tiff suffix (case insensi‐
62       tive) specified in the output filename will be discarded.
63
64       When  writing  with  "-l"  option, tiles are written at 128x128 pixels.
65       For programs that can utilize tiles, it can help speed up some  drawing
66       operations.
67
68       The user may adjust region and resolution before export using g.region.
69
70       A better choice to export GRASS raster data might be r.out.gdal.
