       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       name=string
           Name of raster plane to be created

       dip=float
           Dip of plane. Value must be between -90 and 90 degrees
           Default: 0.0

       azimuth=float
           Azimuth of the plane. Value must be between 0 and 360 degrees
           Default: 0.0

       easting=float
           Easting coordinate of a point on the plane

       northing=float
           Northing coordinate of a point on the plane

       elevation=float
           Elevation coordinate of a point on the plane

       type=string
           Type of the raster map to be created
           Options: int,float,double

DESCRIPTION

       r.plane creates a tilted plane raster map given user-specified parameters for inclination,  azimuth,  and
       the geographic location of a point on the plane.
       The angle orientations of the azimuth parameter increase counter-clockwise, i.e., 0 degree = N, 45 degree
       = NW, 90 degree = W etc.

       Increasing values of the dip parameter progressively lower (or dip) the northern half of the  plane,  and
       incline the southern half, assuming the azimuth parameter is held constant at 0 degrees.

NOTES

       g.region -c provides the easting and northing coordinates for the center of the current region.

       int maps take less disk space than floats, which in turn take up less space than doubles (but can be less
       exact).

EXAMPLE

       A tilted plane in the North Carolina sample dataset region:
       g.region -d
       g.region -c
       r.plane myplane45 dip=45 az=90 east=527500.0 north=165000.0 \
               elev=1000 type=float
