Flags:¶

-m

Use 3D raster mask (if exists) with input map

--overwrite

Allow output files to overwrite existing files

--help

Print usage summary

--verbose

Verbose module output

--quiet

Quiet module output

--ui

Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:¶

input=string [required]

Input 3D raster map for cross section

elevation=string [required]

2D elevation map used to create the cross section map

output=string [required]

Resulting cross section 2D raster map

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
