r.unpack

Imports a GRASS GIS specific raster archive file (packed with r.pack) as a raster map

r.unpack [-op] input=name.pack [output=name] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--qq] [--ui]

Example:

r.unpack input=name.pack

grass.script.run_command("r.unpack", input, output=None, flags=None, overwrite=False, verbose=False, quiet=False, superquiet=False)

Example:

gs.run_command("r.unpack", input="name.pack")

Parameters

input=name.pack [required]
    Name of input pack file
output=name
    Name for output raster map (default: taken from input file internals)
-o
    Override projection check (use current projects's CRS)
    Assume that the dataset has same coordinate reference system as the current project
-p
    Print projection information of input pack file and exit

--overwrite
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
    Print usage summary
--verbose
    Verbose module output
--quiet
    Quiet module output
--qq
    Very quiet module output
--ui
    Force launching GUI dialog

input : str, required
    Name of input pack file
    Used as: input, file, name.pack
output : str, optional
    Name for output raster map (default: taken from input file internals)
    Used as: output, raster, name
flags : str, optional
    Allowed values: o, p
    o
        Override projection check (use current projects's CRS)
        Assume that the dataset has same coordinate reference system as the current project
    p
        Print projection information of input pack file and exit

overwrite: bool, optional
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files
    Default: False
verbose: bool, optional
    Verbose module output
    Default: False
quiet: bool, optional
    Quiet module output
    Default: False
superquiet: bool, optional
    Very quiet module output
    Default: False

DESCRIPTION

r.unpack allows unpacking raster maps packed by r.pack.

NOTES

Name of the raster map is determined by default from pack file internals. Optionally the name can be given by output parameter. Currently only 2D raster maps are supported.

EXAMPLE

Pack up raster map aspect into aspect.pack file.

r.pack input=aspect

the raster map can be afterwards unpacked by

r.unpack input=aspect.pack

SEE ALSO

r.pack, r.in.gdal, v.pack
