topic_profile(1grass)

👑 topic_profile — the profile ✨ topic page ✨

okay bestie, welcome to topic_profile(1grass), aka the GRASS User's Manual page that's literally just a little friend group of commands that all do profiling 💖 if you're trying to slice through a map and see what's inside along a line, this is your girlies.

🌸 Topic: profile 🌸

it's giving "everything here draws a line and then tells you what it found." no cap. here's the whole squad 🫶

• d.profile — plots a profile of a transect. like, it draws the thing. visual queen 👑
• r.profile — outputs the raster map layer values that lie on user-defined line(s). you pick the line, it hands you the numbers 🌈
• r.transect — outputs raster map layer values lying along user defined transect line(s). same energy, transect edition 🦋
• r3.cross.rast — creates a cross section 2D raster map from a 3D raster map based on a 2D elevation map. yes it's a whole glow-up from 3D to 2D, we love a transformation ✨
• v.profile — vector map profiling tool. the vector one. iconic 💅
