[GRASS-user] Clip/Extract Rasters using a vector

[Mark Seibel]

Surely there is a more elegant way...

1) Convert the vector you wish to use as a clipper to a raster.
2) Set the raster mask to be the raster clipper (the converted vector).
3) Use map calculator to perform some non-data altering operation, but
get the mask to do its thing (eg. echo 'clippedRaster=NA_temperature +
0 | r.mapcalc').
