[GRASSLIST:2939] Re: s.to.rast help

[Kevin Slover]

Eric, 
thanks for the response.  I guess it is difficult to explain...You
answer has given me a bit more insight on the s.to.rast command. 
However, with that explanation, it makes it that much more puzzling. 
Taking your example below, the 0 representing my data point, and the X's
representing the "buffered" cells...my data point "cell" is given a NULL
value, and the other "buffered" cells are given a value.  I will attach
a tif image, which might give more of an explanation of the problem.  I
am sure the outputted white areas on the raster are null, as I have done
both r.what.rast and r.out.xyz, and get NULL values.  I am sure there is
some simple solution to this problem, that I am overlooking some step
somewhere, but it is evading me right now.  
And, as I said in the last email, r.fillnulls doesn't recognize the NULL
values, yet they are clearly there...any ideas??
