💖 r3.timestamp — the 1grass manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so. you know how your 3D raster map is just sitting there with no idea when it's from? tragic. this is the tool that fixes that. it's a GRASS User's Manual page, so pull up a chair 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

r3.timestamp — Modifies a timestamp for a 3D raster map. ✨

Print/add/remove a timestamp for a 3D raster map. that's the whole job. no cap.

🏷️ KEYWORDS 🏷️

raster3d, metadata, timestamp, time, voxel

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

r3.timestamp
r3.timestamp --help
r3.timestamp map=name  [date=timestamp]   [--help]  [--verbose]
[--quiet]  [--ui]

🎀 Flags: 🎀

  • --help — Print usage summary
  • --verbose — Verbose module output
  • --quiet — Quiet module output
  • --ui — Force launching GUI dialog

🌸 Parameters: 🌸

  • map=name [required] — Name of 3D raster map
  • date=timestamp — Datetime, datetime1/datetime2, or none

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this command has 2 modes of operation, and honestly? it's giving duality.

If you don't supply a date argument, then the current timestamp for the 3D raster map gets printed. That's it. Show me what you got, map.

If you do specify a date argument, then the timestamp for the 3D raster map is set to the specified date(s). See the examples below — they ate. 👑

Go look at the TIMESTAMP FORMAT description for the deets, iykyk.

📝 NOTES 📝

Strings containing spaces should be quoted. periodt.

For specifying a range of time, the two timestamps should be separated by a forward slash (/).

To remove the timestamp from a 3D raster map, use date=none. bye timestamp! 💀

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Prints the timestamp for the "soils" 3D raster map. If there is no timestamp for soils, nothing is printed. (silence. awkward.) If there is a timestamp, one or two lines are printed, depending on if the timestamp for the map consists of a single date or two dates (ie start and end dates).

r3.timestamp map=soils

Sets the timestamp for "soils" to the single date "15 sep 1987".

r3.timestamp map=soils date=’15 sep 1987’

Sets the timestamp for "soils" to have the start date "15 sep 1987" and the end date "20 feb 1988".

r3.timestamp map=soils date=’15 sep 1987/20 feb 1988’

Sets the timestamp for "soils" to have the start date "18 feb 2005 10:30:00" and the end date "20 jul 2007 20:30:00".

r3.timestamp map=soils date=’18 feb 2005 10:30:00/20 jul 2007 20:30:00’

Removes the timestamp for the "soils" 3D raster map.

r3.timestamp map=soils date=none

😭 KNOWN ISSUES 😭

Spaces in the timestamp value are required.

like, genuinely required. don't skip the spaces, bestie, the vibes depend on it 🙈
