The GRASS program <em>r.patch</em> allows the user to build a new
|
|
|
raster map the size and resolution of the current region by assigning
|
|
|
known data values from input raster maps to the cells in this region.
|
|
|
-This is done by filling in "no data" cells, those that do not yet
|
|
|
-contain data, contain NULL data, or, optionally contain 0 data,
|
|
|
-with the data from the first input map.

|
|
|
+In case of overlapping input raster maps this is done by filling in
|
|
|
+"no data" cells, those that do not yet contain data, contain NULL data,
|
|
|
+or, optionally contain 0 data, with the data from the first input map.
|
|
|
Once this is done the remaining holes are filled in by the next input map,
|
|
|
and so on.
