DESCRIPTION

38       This program converts a GRASS raster file to a TIFF raster file. Output
39       may be 8 or 24 bit (TrueColor).  Optionally, a TIFF World file compati‐
40       ble with ESRI's and other's products may be output.
41
42       The  program  prompts  the user for the name of a GRASS raster file, an
43       output TIFF file, whether an 8 or 24 bit format is desired, and whether
44       or not to create a TIFF world file.  Currently only uncompressed, pack‐
45       pit, or deflate TIFF files are written.  These output formats are known
46       to be compatible with r.in.tiff.
47
48       The  output  filename  will  always  have the suffix .tif, and the Tiff
49       World file (if requested) .tfw. Any .tif or will be discarded.
50
51       When writing with "-l" option, tiles are  written  at  128x128  pixels.
52       For  programs that can utilize tiles, it can help speed up some drawing
53       operations.
54
55       The user may adjust region and resolution before export using g.region.
56
57       A better choice to export GRASS raster data might be r.out.gdal.
