DESCRIPTION
The r.out.xyz module exports a raster map as a list of x,y,z values into an ASCII text
file.
NOTES
This module will not export x,y coordinates for raster cells containing a NULL value. This
includes cells masked by a raster MASK.
This module, as all GRASS raster modules, will export cells based on the current region
settings. See the g.region module for details.
The r.out.ascii module should be used to export an array (of size row x column) containing
z values.
r.out.xyz can combine several input raster maps, which can be convenient when it comes to
e.g. produce ASCII point cloud files.
r.out.xyz is simply a front-end to "r.stats -1gn".
EXAMPLES
In this example, a LiDAR elevation map in the North Carolina sample dataset location is
exported to CSV format.
g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m -p
r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m output=elev_lid792_1m.csv separator=","
In this example, elevation data from the North Carolina dataset are exported along with
R,G,B triplet of the related orthophoto into a combined file (requires the import of the
supplementary high-resolution color orthophoto, here called "ortho2010_t792"):
g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m res=1 -a -p
r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m,ortho2010_t792.red,ortho2010_t792.green,ortho2010_t792.blue \
separator=space output=pointcloud.asc
# validate: X Y Z R G B

TODO
Implement this script as a r.out.ascii option?
