[GRASS-user] Importing an small piece of the image using r.in.gdal

[Daniel Victoria]

Check out the gdal_translate utility
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html

Actualli, it's not a grass tool but grass relies heavily on gdal tools
for raster import so chances are you have that program installed. Just
open a terminal and type gdal_translate. Use the options -projwin to
clip your image to the desired coordinates

Cheers
Daniel
