DESCRIPTION

39       r.in.arc allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS raster map layer from
40       an ESRI ARC/INFO ascii GRID file with (optional) title.
41
42       The ARC/INFO ascii GRID file header has 6 lines:
43            ncols:
44            nrows:
45            xllcorner:
46            yllcorner:
47            cellsize:
48        or alternatively (not supported by r.in.arc, but by r.in.gdal):
49            ncols:
50            nrows:
51            xllcenter:
52            yllcenter:
53            cellsize:
54
55

NOTES

57       r.in.arc handles floating point cell values. The mult option allows the
58       number of significant figures of a floating point cell to be  increased
59       before importing. Multiples of ten are the most functional multipliers.
