DESCRIPTION

       r3.in.bin allows a user to create a GRASS 3D raster map from a variety of binary 3D raster
       data formats.

       The top, bottom, north, south, east, and west field values entered are the coordinates  of
       the  edges  of  the  geographic  region.   The  depths, rows and cols field values entered
       describe the dimensions of the matrix of data to follow.  If the bytes  field  is  entered
       incorrectly an error will be generated suggesting a closer bytes value.

NOTES

       The  write  order  of  the  rows (north->south to south->north) and the write order of the
       depths (bottom->top to top->bottom) can be switched.

       Have a look at r3.out.ascii to manual page that describes the internal layout  of  the  3D
       raster maps and the supported row and depth switch options.

       Import  of  little  and  big endian byte order as well as signed and unsigned integer data
       types is supported.

EXAMPLES

       First we create a specific region and a 3D raster map that we will export with  r3.out.bin
       and import again.
       g.region w=0 e=180 s=0 n=90 b=0 t=100 res3=10
       r3.mapcalc expr="test_out_bin_float = float(if(row() == 2, null(), row()))"
       r3.out.bin input=test_out_bin_float byte=4 null=-9999 \
           output=test_out_bin_float_native_b4.bin order=native
       r3.in.bin output=test_in_bin_float byte=4 null=-9999 \
           input=test_out_bin_float_native_b4.bin order=native \
           bottom=0 top=100 west=0 east=180 south=0 north=90 \
           cols=18 rows=9 depths=10
