NAME
       r.transect   - Outputs raster map layer values lying along user defined
       transect line(s).

KEYWORDS

       tance[,east,north,azimuth,distance,...]  [null_value=string]   [--help]
       [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:

           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       map=name [required]
           Raster map to be queried

       line=east,north,azimuth,distance[,east,north,azimuth,distance,...] [re-
       quired]
           Transect definition

       null_value=string
           String representing NULL value
           Default: *

DESCRIPTION
       This program outputs, in ASCII, the values in a raster  map  which  lie
       along  one  or more user-defined transect lines.  The transects are de-
       scribed by their starting coordinates, azimuth, and distance.

       The line parameter is a definition of (each) transect  line,  specified
       by  the  geographic  coordinates  of  its starting point (easting, nor-
       thing), the angle and direction of its travel (azimuth), and  its  dis-
       tance (distance).

       The  azimuth  is  an  angle, in degrees, measured to the east of north.
       The distance is in map units (meters for a metered database, like UTM).

       The null parameter can optionally be set to change the character string
       representing null values.

NOTES
       This  program  is a front-end to the r.profile program.  It simply con-
       verts the azimuth and distance to an ending coordinate  and  then  runs
       r.profile.   There  once  were width= and result=raw|median|average op-
       tions which are not currently implemented.
