DESCRIPTION

36       The  r.out.bin  program  exports  a  GRASS raster map to a binary array
37       file. Optionally, output can be sent to standard  output  (stdout)  for
38       direct input (pipe) into other applications. Data is exported according
39       to the original GRASS raster type (e.g. float). If  the  "-i"  flag  is
40       specified,  an  integer  array  is  output.  The  region parameters are
41       printed to stderr.
42

NOTES

44       With the -h flag, data can be directly used by GMT  as  Grid  Format  1
45       (float) or 2 (short). For example:
46       r.out.bin -h input=grass.raster output=new.grd
47       grdinfo new.grd=1 (if float)
48
49
50       Exported data can be piped directly into the GMT program xyz2grd.
51       r.out.bin input=grass.raster output=- | xyz2grd -R....  -ZTLf -
52         The example uses the GMT program xyz2grd with the -ZTLf flag indicat‐
53       ing that a float array was output.
