<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all, my situation is this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- I have a bunch of meteorological stations in a
PostGIS database in latlong coordinates</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Historic precipitation data for the
stations</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the user will select a subset of the stations and
a given year, and the system should generate a surface interpolation raster
automatically</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far, the steps I am following are
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- create an empty mapset with an unique name, using
batch processing examples that I found online.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- import the stations locations using v.in.db
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- set the current region using g.region
vect=stations res={res}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- link the stations map to the table holding
the historic data using v.db.connect</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- run v.surf.rst</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far so good, but the problem I am having is that
v.surf.rst excludes the points that are at the edge of the region. So my
question would be if there's a way for v.surf.rst to consider this points or
otherwise make the region bigger so v.surf.rst would include them. I could
use the adding options in g.region (i.e. n=n+{value}) but I would need to know
the sign of the coordinates in advance. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, if anyone has some advice I would appreciate
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
