NAME
grdreformat - Converting between different grdfile formats.
SYNOPSIS
grdreformat ingrdfile[=id[/scale/offset[/nanvalue]]] outgrdfile[=id[/scale/offset[/nanvalue]]]
[ -Rwest/east/south/north[r] ] [ -V ]
DESCRIPTION
grdreformat reads a grdfile in one format and writes it out using another format. As an option the
user may select a subset of the data to be written and to specify scaling, translation, and nan-value.
- ingrdfile
-
The grdfile to be read. Append format =id number if not a standard GMT netcdf-based grdfile.
If id is set, you may optionally append scale and offset to scale the data and then add an offset. If scale and offset
are supplied you may also append a value that represent 'not-a-number' (for floating-point grids this
is unneccesary since the IEEE NaN is used; however short integers need a value which means no data available.)
- outgrdfile
-
The grdfile to be written. Append format =id number if not a standard GMT netcdf-based grdfile.
If id is set, you may optionally append scale and offset to scale the data and then add an offset. If scale and offset
are supplied you may also append a value that represent 'not-a-number' (for floating-point grids this
is unneccesary since the IEEE NaN is used; however short integers need a value which means no data available.)

#include "explain_-V.txt"
EXAMPLES
To create a 4-byte raw floating point grid from the netcdf file data.grd, try
grdreformat data.grd ras_data.b4=1 -V
To make a 2-byte short integer file and scale it by 10 and subtract 32000, letting
NaNs be represented by the value -9999, do
grdreformat values.grd shorts.i2=2/10/-32000/-9999 -V
To create a Sun standard 8-bit rasterfile for a subset of the data file image.grd,
assuming the range in image.grd is 0-1 and we need 0-255, try
grdreformat image.grd -R-60/-40/-40/-30 image.ras8=3/255/0 -V
