-23 for float, 0 - 52 for double, max or default
Default: default
compression=string
The compression method used in the output raster3d map
Options: default, zip, none

tiledimension=XxYxZ
The dimensions of the tiles used in the output raster3d map (XxYxZ
or default: 16x16x8)
Default: default
DESCRIPTION
r3.in.ascii allows a user to create a (binary) GRASS 3D raster map
layer from a 3D ASCII raster input file.
The tiledimension parameter defines the dimension of the tiles used in
the output file. The format is: XxYxZ
The nv parameter specifies which value to convert to NULL-value. If
the specified value is none, no conversion is performed. Default is
none.
NOTES
The data is automatically imported into the correct internal coordinate
system, that is visualized in the following picture, independently from
the specified ordering in the ASCII input file:
The volume coordinate system and tile layout of the imported
voxel map
NOTES
The format of the 3D ASCII file:
version: "grass7"
order: "nsbt" or "nstb" or "snbt" or "sntb"
north: floating point
south: floating point
east: floating point
west: floating point
top: floating point
bottom: floating point
rows: integer
cols: integer
levels: integer
The version and order option have been introduced in GRASS 7 in June
2011. The version option is self explaining. The order option speci-
fies the row and depth order of the data in the input file. The sup-
ported row/depth ordering is documented in the r3.out.ascii manual
page. The order of the data in the input file does not specify the data
order in the generated output 3D raster map which is in any case north
-> south, west -> east, bottom -> top order. So dependent on the order
information the data is automatically imported into the correct inter-
nal coordinate system.
The version and order options are not mandatory. In case no version and
order option is specified, the default GRASS 6 ASCII format is assumed.
This header is followed by the cell values in floating point format or-
ganized in rows with constant col and level coordinate. The rows are
organized by constant level coordinate. Individual cell values are sep-
arated by space or CR.
EXAMPLES
4x3x2 sample. Note in case no specific ordering is specified in the in-
put file the upper-left (NW) corner of the bottom level comes first.
The according order option is: nsbt for north -> south, bottom -> top
ordering. This is identical with r.in.ascii for single level data. So
the y coordinate is 0 at the northern edge. north: 3.0
south: 0.0
east: 4.0
west: 0.0
top: 2.0
bottom: 0.0
rows: 3
cols: 4
levels: 2

test.r3.out.ascii.sh script located in the r3.out.ascii directory.
