[GRASS-user] Re: advice on interpolation

[madi]

Hi Bulent,
First of all, what OS are you using? What grass version?
You can try with a smaller percentage of points in r.random and/or in 
v.surf.rst try increasing dmin (it's the distance of points to take into 
account in the interpolation).

Cheers
