[GRASS-user] Creating raster from imported vector data

[Michael Perdue]

Mort,
Are you sure that you input data is cartesian (ie XY unprojected) and  
not Geographic (lat/long which is also unprojected). It would be very  
unusual to have unprojected vector data in a cartesian coordinate  
system.
I think that what has happened is that you coordinates are in lat/ 
long which would cause all your data to be bunched up in a tiny  
little space as the min/max for lat/long is +90 to -90 and +180 to  
-180 respectively.

Cheers,

Mike
