[GRASS5] r.proj doesn't seem to be working properly

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Rich, 

the module r.proj does indeed work, at least partially.

What is confusing is that you must start r.proj from the mapset and
location you want the data to be projected to, not the location where
you the data are from. For the location parameter you only specify the
location name, so if your DATABASE is /mnt/usr4/projects, and your
location is nevada and the mapset is coeur, you would run:
r.proj in=rochester-dem location=tmp mapset=PERMANENT out=rochester-dem. 

Please note that no map datum transformation is done. You should also
check that r.in.gdal created a correct PROJ_INFO file. There may be
other issues because the raster is resampled/interpolated in some way,
please refer to the man page. 

If you need to reproject from another database dir you need the add.
datab-parameter dbase=/mnt/usr4/projects

This is all not very satisfying, i think that one could build a sort of
file - manager like interface with tcl/tk. 

HTH,

Andreas
