## DESCRIPTION

r.out.gdal outputs GRASS raster maps into various GIS formats as supported by GDAL. This script is based on 'gdal_translate', it's parameters are similar to those of 'gdal_translate'. For possible metaopt parameters see the 'supported formats' pages of GDAL. The createopt may be used to create TFW or World files ("TFW=YES", "WORLDFILE=ON").

## SUPPORTED FORMATS

The set of supported formats written by r.out.gdal depend on the local GDAL installation. Available may be (incomplete list):
