GSHHG2GRASS(1)               Generic Mapping Tools              GSHHG2GRASS(1)


NAME

       gshhgtograss - Extracting GSHHS and WDBII data in GRASS-compatible
       ASCII format


SYNOPSIS

       gshhgtograss -i gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b [ -xminx ] [-Xmaxx ] [ -yminy ] [
       -Ymaxy ]


DESCRIPTION

       gshhgtograss reads the binary coastline (GSHHS) or binary river/border
       (WDBII) and and translates it into an ASCII format suitable for import
       into GRASS.  It automatically handles byte-swabbing between different
       architectures.

       gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b
              One of the GSHHG binary data file as distributed with the GSHHG
              data supplement.  Any of the 5 standard resolutions (full, high,
              intermediate, low, crude) can be used.  The resulting files are
              called dig_[ascii|att|cats].gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].


OPTIONS

       -x     Specify a minimum (west) longitude.

       -X     Specify a maximum (east) longitude.

       -y     Specify a minimum (south) latitude.

       -Y     Specify a maximum (north) latitude.


EXAMPLES

       To convert the full GSHHS data set , try

       gshhgtograss gshhs_f.b


BUGS

       Not updated to handle the WDBII line data (borders or rivers).
