[GRASSLIST:4107] Re: stupit newbie question on import raster

[SWlab]

Hello,

> first I created a location of xy-type:

The easiest in that case is always to let GDAL do the nasty job of creating 
the location.
The pb I guess is that in  GIMP, the pixels are numbered from bottomleft to 
topright, and that in GRASS, from topleft to bottom right (or is it the other 
way round?). Anyway

zone:       0
north:      0
south:      -1239
west:       -1501
east:       0
nsres:      1
ewres:      1
rows:       1239
cols:       1501

would give you the proper option.

You don't need georeferencing in that case, as you're working in a XY 
location.
