DESCRIPTION
       The  r.out.xyz  module  exports  a raster map as a list of x,y,z values
       into an ASCII text file.

NOTES
       This module will by default not export x,y coordinates for raster cells
       containing  a  NULL value. This includes cells masked by a raster MASK.
       Using the flag -i also these raster cells will be included in  the  ex-
       ported data.

       This  module,  as  all GRASS raster modules, will export cells based on
       the current region settings. See the g.region module for details.

       The r.out.ascii module should be used to export an array (of size row x
       column) containing z values.

       r.out.xyz  can  combine  several input raster maps, which can be conve-
       nient when it comes to e.g. produce ASCII point cloud files.

       r.out.xyz is simply a front-end to "r.stats -1g[n]".

EXAMPLES
       In this example, a LiDAR elevation map in  the  North  Carolina  sample
       dataset location is exported to CSV format.
       g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m -p
       r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m output=elev_lid792_1m.csv separator=","

       In this example, elevation data from the North Carolina dataset are ex-
       ported along with R,G,B triplet of the related orthophoto into  a  com-
       bined  file  (requires  the import of the supplementary high-resolution
       color orthophoto, here called "ortho2010_t792"):
       g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m res=1 -a -p
       r.out.xyz input=elev_lid792_1m,ortho2010_t792.red,ortho2010_t792.green,ortho2010_t792.blue \
               separator=space output=pointcloud.asc
       # validate: X Y Z R G B
       head -n 3 pointcloud.asc
       638300.5 220749.5 126.338218689 78 84 71
       638301.5 220749.5 126.3381958008 93 101 86
       638302.5 220749.5 126.3414840698 68 77 59

TODO
       Implement this script as a r.out.ascii option?
