DESCRIPTION

88       t.rast.contour  is  designed  to produce a space time vector dataset of
89       specified contours from a space time raster dataset. This module  works
90       as  a  front-end  to  r.contour and therefore supports all parameter of
91       this module. Hence, all raster  map  layers  in  a  space  time  raster
92       dataset  are successively passed to r.contour that computes the contour
93       lines.  Please refer to the r.contour documentation for a detailed  de‐
94       scription.   The new generated vector contour map layers will be regis‐
95       tered in the output space time vector  dataset,  using  the  same  time
96       stamps as their raster map layer origins.
97
98       This  module  supports  the parallel processing of r.contour module in‐
99       stances. The number of parallel processes can be set  with  the  nprocs
100       option.   However, this will only work in conjunction with the -t flag,
101       that avoids the creation of attribute tables.  The parallel creation of
102       attribute tables is not supported.
103
104       The  where  option  allows  selecting  subsets  of the input space time
105       raster dataset.
106
107       The flag -n can be used to force the registration of empty  vector  map
108       layers.  Empty vector maps may occur in case that empty raster map lay‐
109       ers should be converted into vector map layers, or in case  the  chosen
110       steps or contour levels are not present in the raster map layers.
