topic_conversion(1)

✨ Topic: conversion ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the conversion topic page of the GRASS GIS manual — literally the group chat of every tool that turns one map type into another. rasters into vectors, vectors into rasters, 2D into 3D, space time datasets into… everything. it's giving glow-up central 🌈✨

here's the whole roster, no skips, no cuts:

• r.to.rast3 — Converts 2D raster map slices to one 3D raster volume map.
• r.to.rast3elev — Creates a 3D volume map based on 2D elevation and value raster maps.
• r.to.vect — Converts a raster map into a vector map.
• r3.to.rast — Converts 3D raster maps to 2D raster maps
• t.rast.to.rast3 — Converts a space time raster dataset into a 3D raster map.
• t.rast.to.vect — Converts a space time raster dataset into a space time vector dataset
• v.to.rast — Converts (rasterize) a vector map into a raster map.
• v.to.rast3 — Converts a vector map (only points) into a 3D raster map.
