NAME

v.to.rast3 - Converts a vector map (only points) into a 3D raster map.

KEYWORDS

vector, volume, conversion

SYNOPSIS

v.to.rast3
v.to.rast3 help
v.to.rast3 input=name layer=string output=name column=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string [required]
Layer number or name
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: 1
output=name [required]
Name for output 3D raster map
column=name [required]
Name of attribute column (data type must be numeric)

DESCRIPTION

v.to.rast3 converts a GRASS 3D vector point map to a GRASS 3D raster map.

NOTES

When converting from a 3D vector point layer to a 3D raster map a vector point is converted into a single 3D raster cell (voxel) representing the location of the vector point. As 3D raster cell value the database attribute of the vector point is stored with floating point precision.

This screenshot shows the result of the v.to.rast3 test. Visualized are the cube of the grass region, the vector points as black dots and the voxel cells as wireframe model. Only cells with non-null values are shown.
