[GRASS-user] [snap pour point for r.water.outlet]

[Ang Sherpa]

Thanks Daniel,

Since I am developing Grass Gis based interactive app to delineate
watershed basin, I have to bundle those raster files along with other
python packages. When the users installs the app, these files will be
automatically copied and ready to use for "r.water.outlet" module through
python script i.e. users just have to enter coordinate in the GUI.There
will be just a single pair of coordinate at a time.

My concern is that whether drainage direction raster map can be used for
r.distance or not? Do we achieve the same result?

Bundling the accumulation raster file massively increases the app setup
file size whereas drainage direction only accounts 1/4th size of
accumulation raster file.
