[GRASS-user] creating high-resolution DMT

[Vaclav Petras]

Back to filling holes in lidar data, I also think that the "fill in the
gaps" approach is quite promising, so I ported the r.fill.gaps module to G7:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/addons/r.fill.gaps.html

I didn't review the code, but the documentation is very nice and detailed.
I did some mostly formatting updates for the current submitting guidelines
and added complete example with lidar data.

Really nice module, please, find more of these in your shelf :-)

Thanks!
