[GRASSLIST:1641] Re: display several maps

[Justin Hickey]

Hi Gail

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. We just used r.patch several weeks
ago to do just what Julien wants. We had several individual raster maps
(actually orthophotos) of an area and we used r.patch to create a single
map of the entire area. 

Also, from the r.patch manual page we have the following from the
"Notes" section.

"Frequently, this program is used to patch together adjacent map layers"

So it appears that r.patch can be used for creating one large map from
several "sub-maps" of an entire region.
