DESCRIPTION

87       t.rast.export  exports a space time raster dataset (strds) as a tar ar‐
88       chive. The archive contains the raster maps either as GeoTIFF files  or
89       as GRASS binary files exported using r.pack. The map specific color ta‐
90       bles are exported in case of GeoTIFF files. In addition  several  meta‐
91       data  files  are created in the archive that describe the temporal lay‐
92       out. All time stamps are stored in the file "list.txt",  for  each  map
93       one row. The name of the map, the start time and the end time are writ‐
94       ten. In case of a time instance, the start time is  equal  to  the  end
95       time. The "init.txt" file stores the temporal type, the number of maps,
96       the chosen export format and some other metadata. The  "proj.txt"  file
97       stores the projection information as a proj4 string of the location the
98       space time raster dataset was exported from. The file "readme.txt"  de‐
99       scribes  the  file  format. The output of r.info for each raster map in
100       the space time dataset is stored in "metadata.txt".
101
102       The tar archive can be compressed using the compress option.  Gzip  and
103       bzip2  (default) are available. A where option can be specified, to ex‐
104       port only a subset of the space time dataset.  Archives  exported  with
105       t.rast.export can be imported with t.rast.import.
106

NOTES

108       The  name  of  output file has to carry the suffix of the archive type,
109       the following suffix can be used:
110
111.tar in the case of compress=no
112
113.tar.bzip2 in the case of compress=bzip2
114
115.tar.gzip in the case of compress=gzip
116

EXAMPLE

118       In this example, all the raster maps of 2012 of "tempmean_monthly" will
119       be exported:
120       t.rast.export input=tempmean_monthly output=tempmean_monthly.tar.bzip2 \
121                     where="start_time >= ’2012-01-01’ and start_time < ’2013-01-01’"
