[GRASS-user] Re: Conversion of multiple rasters to PNG files

[Mortsde]

Hamish,

Thanks for the advice but I'm still having some hangups with your code. Are
these commands meant for a unique script, entry into  the terminal itself,
other...? The "my @maps" is confusing, what is the my representing? I
understand that @maps is referring to the map-file locations. The rest of
the code has me lost as well...

Thanks again!

some shell script loop scripts here:
  http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Movies


but none of those really strike me as beginner-friendly. (mea culpa)


the general idea is:

# set up region
g.region rast=

# use g.mlist to list all relevant maps
g.mlist rast pattern=

# eg throw those map names into a loop
my @maps = system(g.mlist rast pat=soils.*);
my @maps = `g.mlist rast pat=soils.*`;

for my $m (@maps) {
  print $m;
  `d.erase`;
  `d.rast $m`;
   ...
  `d.out.file $png_name`
   ...
}

probably it is good to first run through a loop of all the maps with
'r.info -r' and get the overall range, then create color rules covering
that entire range and in a loop apply it to all maps with r.colors.
that way the color scale stats the same.
