[GRASS-user] r.out.gdal bug? problems with createopt

[Robert Nuske]

Hi List,

I am trying to export a floating point raster into a tiff, BUT without writing 
a GeoHeader (no GeoTiff!).

( I want to do this rather unusual thing, because the PCI Geomatics Software 
has Problems with the Gauss Kruger Projection. It misinterprets a good 
looking GeoTiff and writes only garbage in the GeoHeader of its output. But 
if one feeds it just coordinates they line up perfectly.)

r.out.gdal [...] createopt="TFW=YES,PROFILE=BASELINE"
writes always a GeoHeader!

According to the GDAL documentation (http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html) it 
should not write any Geo-Stuff, if given the option PROFILE=BASELINE.

I then tested the scripted version
r.out.gdal.sh [...] createopt="TFW=YES,PROFILE=BASELINE"
and luckily it behaves and writes a tif without GeoHeader.

cheers,
  robert
