DESCRIPTION

67       The  r.out.bin  program  exports  a  GRASS raster map to a binary array
68       file. Optionally, output can be sent to standard  output  (stdout)  for
69       direct input (pipe) into other applications. Data is exported according
70       to the original GRASS raster type (e.g. float). If  the  "-i"  flag  is
71       specified,  an  integer  array  is  output.  The  region parameters are
72       printed to stderr.
73

NOTES

75       With the -h flag, data can be directly used by GMT  as  Grid  Format  1
76       (float) or 2 (short). For example:
77       r.out.bin -h input=grass.raster output=new.grd
78       grdinfo new.grd=1 (if float)
79
80       Exported data can be piped directly into the GMT program xyz2grd.
81       r.out.bin input=grass.raster output=- | xyz2grd -R....  -ZTLf -
82       The example uses the GMT program xyz2grd with the -ZTLf flag indicating
83       that a float array was output.
