Thanks all who replied, particularly Hamish who seems to have most accurately diagnosed my problem. nsres and ewres for the default region were 2.33 and 3.88 respectively, whereas they were 7.05 and 6.90 for the raster.. I live and learn. : )

d.rast works<br>in the current region, not the map's region. It resamples the raster map<br>on the fly.<br><br>try:<br> g.region -d<br> g.region -p<br><br>how do the bounds and resolution compare with what <a href="http://r.info">

<br><br>I expect the default resolution was set to something much coarser than<br>your rectified map's resolution, and it is simply a mis-display.<br><br><br>Hamish<br></blockquote></div><br>
