[GRASS-user] Re: r.out.xyz problem floating point

[Clémentine Fritsch]

Hi,

I have not found any solution in GRASS, but it is possible to export a 
xyz text file from an ASCII using R.

I have found a solution with the help of Robert Hijmans and Patrick 
Giraudoux. It is necessary to specify the number of significant digits 
using signif().

For instance, in R 2.12.0:

library(raster)

r<-raster("data.asc")

xyv <- cbind(xyFromCell(r, 1:ncell(r)), v=signif(values(r), digits=2))

write.table(xyv, file="data.txt", row.names=FALSE, sep="\t",dec=".")

 
Regards,

Clémentine
