GRASS Extras

Introduction

The p.in.labels program is a simple import tool for converting XYZ files to GRASS label files. The Z column of the XYZ file is read as the GRASS label. The program reads the XYZ file from either standard input (stdin) or an existing ASCII file.

The standard GRASS label options are available including size, fontsize, offset, color, justification, and rotation.

Example

To import the following XYZ labels from labels.txt  into GRASS

Introduction

The r.in.mb GRASS/Mb-Stystem program is designed to import mbio compatible multibeam data directly into the GRASS GIS.
The program is a modified version of r.in.xyz. Instead of reading an ASCII XYZ file, r.in.mb reads an MB-System compatible list file as shown below.
