🎀 Topic: conversion 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the GRASS User's Manual ✨ this is the conversion topic page, and it's literally the group chat where every tool that flips one map type into another hangs out. raster ➡️ vector, vector ➡️ raster, 2D ➡️ 3D, space time ➡️ everything?? it's giving glow-up montage 💅

🌸 the conversion crew 🌸

every single one of these is a whole main character, so let's do intros:

  • r.to.rast3 — takes your 2D raster map slices and squishes them together into one 3D raster volume map. layers to lewk, no cap 🧚
  • r.to.rast3elev — builds a 3D volume map using 2D elevation and value raster maps as the blueprint. elevation said "I'll be the structure, you be the content" 🦋
  • r.to.vect — raster map in, vector map out. the classic glow-up ✨
  • r3.to.rast — 3D raster maps ➡️ 2D raster maps. going back to two dimensions, humble of it honestly
  • t.rast.to.rast3 — a space time raster dataset becomes a 3D raster map. time itself getting a third dimension, obsessed 😭
  • t.rast.to.vect — a space time raster dataset becomes a space time vector dataset. dataset to dataset, slay for slay 👑
  • v.to.rast — converts (rasterize) a vector map into a raster map. yes it says rasterize, we love a verb 💜
  • v.to.rast3 — converts a vector map into a 3D raster map, but only points, so don't come at it with lines and expect a miracle 🙈
