## DESCRIPTION

i.target targets an imagery group to a GRASS data base project name and mapset. A project name and mapset are required for the i.rectify imagery module, into which to write the rectified map just prior to completion of the program; i.target enables the user to specify this project. i.target must be run before g.gui.gcp and i.rectify.

## NOTES

The module's first option asks for the name of the imagery group that needs a target. The imagery group must be present in the user's current mapset. An imagery group may be targeted to any GRASS project.

If a group name is given without setting options, the currently targeted group will be displayed.
