DESCRIPTION
r.in.wms handles all of downloading and importing raster data from an OGC WMS and OGC WMTS web mapping
servers. It only needs be told the desired data to collect (bounds and resolution) via a region, the
server to get the data from, and the layer or layers to get. It downloads the data in tiles, reprojects
it, imports it, and patches it back together.
NOTES
To understand the data you are getting it is necessary to look at the capabilities of the WMS server.
This should be available via a capabilities request (see examples)
When using GDAL WMS driver (driver=WMS_GDAL), the GDAL library needs to be built with WMS support, see
GDAL WMS manual page for details.
Tiled WMS
Into the parameter layers the name of the TiledGroup need to be inserted from Tile Service file. Time
variable can be specified in urlparams parameter, e.g: urlparams=’time=2012-1-1’.
