   Parameters:
       input=string [required]
           Input 3D raster map for cross section

       elevation=string [required]

       output=string [required]
           Resulting cross section 2D raster map

DESCRIPTION

       This  module  creates  a  cross section 2D map from one 3D raster volume map based on a 2D
       elevation map. It checks if the value of the elevation map is located in the  z-coordinate
       space  of  the  3D  map. If so, the 3D voxel value for this position is transferred to the
       related cross section output map cell, otherwise the NULL value is set.

       How r3.cross.rast works

       If the 2D and 3D region settings are different, the 2D resolution will be adjust to the 3D
       resolution.

NOTES

       To create a cut plane elevation map use r.mapcalc. Some examples:

           •   To create a cut plane elevation map in x direction type
               r.mapcalc "cutplane = col()*x",
               x be the value for the elevation. If the range of col() is 1 ... 10, the elevation
               map has the range 1 ... 10 if x == 1 and if x == 10 the range 10 ... 100

           •   To create a cut plane elevation map in y direction type
               r.mapcalc "cutplane = row()*x",
               x be the value for the elevation. If the range of col() is 1 ... 10, the elevation
               map has the range 1 ... 10 if x == 1 and if x == 10 the range 10 ... 100

           •   The user can also make a cut in y and x direction with r.mapcalc by using
               r.mapcalc "cutplane = (row()+col())*x"

EXAMPLE

   Simple Spearfish example
       g.region -d
       g.region res=150 res3=150 t=1000 b=0 tbres=100
       # synthetic data, could be geological structures:
       r3.mapcalc "map3d = sin(row())+sin(col())+sin(depth()*depth())"
       #create a cutplane map
       r.mapcalc "cutplane = col()*10"
       #create the cross section map
       r3.cross.rast input=map3d elevation=cutplane output=crosssection
