predictor for LZW-compression as long as you are not sure that all raster maps are of the same type (CELL/FCELL/DCELL)), but went back to using internal GRASS format, because external links are a bit tricky to use on NFS and from different OS (or if data is
moved):<o:p></o:p></span></p>

you rename maps. g.rename renames only the GRASS internal map name (modifies the link) the underlying data file is not touched and stays with the old name…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The use of r.external makes a lot of sense when dealing with very large files. Does the use of "external" files work as expected in all of the new t.* modules?<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Note r.external and r.external.out of GRASS GIS 7 for avoiding data duplication:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/r.external.html" target="_blank">https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/r.external.html</a><br>
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/r.external.out.html" target="_blank">https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/r.external.out.html</a><br>
<br>
Here an example:<br>
<br>
# register (rather than import) a GeoTIFF file in GRASS GIS:<br>
r.external input=terra_lst1km20030314.LST_Day.tif output=modis_celsius<br>
<br>
# define output directory for files resulting from subsequent calculations:<br>
r.external.out directory=$HOME/gisoutput/ format="GTiff"<br>
<br>
# perform calculations (here: extract pixels > 20 deg C)<br>
# store output directly as GeoTIFF file, hence add the .tif extension:<br>
r.mapcalc "warm.tif = if(modis_celsius > 20.0, modis_celsius, null() )"<br>
<br>
# cease GDAL output connection and turn back to write standard GRASS<br>
raster files:<br>
r.external.out -r<br>
<br>
# use the result elsewhere<br>
qgis $HOME/gisoutput/warm.tif<br>
<br>
Best<br>
Markus<br>
