   Parameters:
       output=name [required]
           Name for output raster map

       dip=float [required]
           Dip of plane in degrees
           Default: 0.0

       azimuth=float [required]
           Azimuth of the plane in degrees
           Default: 0.0

       easting=float [required]
           Easting coordinate of a point on the plane

       northing=float [required]
           Northing coordinate of a point on the plane

       elevation=float [required]
           Elevation coordinate of a point on the plane

       type=string
           Type of raster map to be created
           Storage type for resultant raster map
           Options: CELL, FCELL, DCELL
           Default: FCELL
           CELL: Integer
           FCELL: Single precision floating point
           DCELL: Double precision floating point

DESCRIPTION
       r.plane creates a tilted plane raster map given user-specified  parame-
       ters  for  inclination, azimuth, and the geographic location of a point
       on the plane.
       The angle orientations of the azimuth parameter increase counter-clock-
       wise, 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 cen-
       ter of the current region.

       CELL (integer) maps take less disk space than FCELLs (floating  point),
       which in turn take up less space than DCELLs (double precision floating
       point).

EXAMPLE
       A tilted plane in the North Carolina sample dataset region:
       # set computational region
       g.region raster=elev_lid792_1m -p
       # get center coordinates as an example
       g.region -c
       # get terrain height at point
       r.what map=elev_lid792_1m coordinates=638650.0,220375.0
       # shows elevation: 116.7734
       # generate tilted plane
       r.plane myplane30 dip=30 az=75 east=638650.0 north=220375.0 \
               elev=116.7734 type=FCELL
