💖 r3.retile — GRASS GIS User's Manual (1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about r3.retile — the glow-up tool for your 3D raster maps. it takes an existing 3D raster map and re-tiles it with x, y and z tile sizes that you pick. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ KEYWORDS ✨

raster3d, tiling, voxel — yes it's giving all three, slay. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

r3.retile
r3.retile --help
r3.retile [-c] input=name output=name  [tiledimension=XxYxZ]
[--overwrite]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🚩 Flags

  • -c — Disable tile caching. no cap, just turn that caching off. ✨
  • --overwrite — Allow output files to overwrite existing files. (she's bold, she's fearless 💅)
  • --help — Print usage summary. whenever you're lost, she's got you 🫶
  • --verbose — Verbose module output. she will literally tell you everything. 😭
  • --quiet — Quiet module output. shhh 🤫 main character silence.
  • --ui — Force launching GUI dialog. for the girlies who love a lil window 🎀

🎛️ Parameters

  • input=name [required] — Name of input 3D raster map. the one you're retiling, the original queen 👑
  • output=name [required] — Name of the retiled 3D raster map. the fresh new version, the after photo 💖
  • tiledimension=XxYxZ — The dimensions of the tiles used in the output raster3d map (XxYxZ or default: 16x16x8). Default: default. so if you don't say anything, she's doing 16x16x8 for you, generous icon ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so r3.retile writes a copy of an existing 3D raster map, but with a user defined number of tiles in x, y and z direction. 🧚

and the way that it keeps things consistent?? the precision and the type of the original 3D raster map are used for the new retiled 3D raster map. so nothing gets weird, nothing gets downgraded. she's faithful to her source, fr fr. 💜
