DESCRIPTION

       The  r.region  program  allows  the  user  to manage the boundaries of a raster map. These
       boundaries can be set by the user directly  and/or  set  from  a  region  definition  file
       (stored under the windows directory in the user’s current mapset), a raster or vector map,
       or a 3dview file.

       The align parameter sets the current resolution equal to that of the named raster map, and
       align  the boundaries to a row and column edge in the named map.  Alignment only moves the
       existing boundaries outward to the edges of the next nearest cell in the named raster  map
       --  not  to  the  named  map’s edges.  To perform the latter function, use the raster=name
       option.

NOTES

       After all updates have been applied, the raster map’s resolution settings  are  recomputed
       from the boundaries and the number of rows and columns in the raster map.

       The n=value may also be specified as a function of its current value:  n=n+value increases
       the current northing, while n=n-value decreases  it.   This  is  also  true  for  s=value,
       e=value, and w=value.

EXAMPLES

       Assign absolute coordinates to map:
       r.region map=mymap n=220750 s=220000 w=638300 e=639000
       Shift map (using offset, here by 100 map units in two directions):
       r.region map=mymap n=n+100 e=e+100 w=w+100 s=s+100
