[GRASS-user] r.profile fails to print elevation

[Stuart Edwards]

Anna

Thanks for the quick response.  Of course, the data are in the specified file....... When I saw the screen output with the 'Elevation' header and no elevations, I assumed the operation had failed.  Looks like it terminated early though - I have about 7 miles of data from a 200 mile profile - are there any known limits on the length / resolution that can be handled?  I'll run it again and see what happens.

However, I'm having problems using r.profile directly where I use a table of vector points to define the profile.  r.profile reads the vector file and computes the transect lengths, but does not appear to query the raster map at each point - or if it does, the results are not printed.  Interactively, the raster map (DEM) works well as the subject map for analysis.  Here's what is returned from r.profile:
