GDALWARP - How to import a large number of Arcinfo Ascii Grid files into Grass GIS

-
I  recently downloaded around a 1000 Arcinfo Ascii Grid files and wanted to import them into Grass GIS. My first thoughts were to use the 'r.in.gdal' module wxGUI (of course) but this wouldn't allow me to import all the files in one go. Then i tried the 'r.in.arc' module but again this only seemed to want one file at a time. Thanks to Markus Neteler for this solution...The 'GDALWARP' utility!.

Step 1. In the command line navigate to the folder containing your '*.asc' files. 

Step 2. Type the following: gdalwarp --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 8000 -wm 8000 *.asc mosaic.tif



The processing of each file should follow this format on the command line as above. Job Done. An image entitled 'mosaic.tif' will have been created in the same directory.

Step 3. Simply import the 'mosaic.tif' into Grass GIS. Apply your own colour table as necessary.

This post follows on from my previous three (most recent first in list) linked below. There is no doubt that in just a short time from now we will probably see a 'one-click' installer to by-pass the next steps but a least this method allows you to change 'in/out' the individual libraries if there is are updates using the usual ' sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade '. http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/08/qgis-server-bringing-map-into-browser.html http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/07/how-to-install-qgis-server-on-ubuntu.html http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/04/how-to-install-postgresql-95-and.html 1.  Firstly...Create a new QGIS project, add your layers from PostGIS, Shapefiles or raster (geotiff), style and symbolise those layers, set the projection and ensure you've set up your 'OWS Server' in 'Project Properties'. 2.  Let's install the 'Lizmap' Plugin first by going into the 'Plugins' menu then 'Manage

Before we start it is always a good idea to remove and re-install apache2 web server so that we start from the same set up:- To remove Apache2:- $ sudo apt --purge remove apache2 $ sudo apt autoremove To re-install Apache2:- $ sudo apt install apache2 $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart # or $ sudo service apache2 restart 1. $ sudo apt install apache2 (if not installed already done so as above) 2. $ sudo apt install qgis-server libapache2-mod-fcgid 3. $ sudo a2enmod fcgid 4. $ sudo a2enconf serve-cgi-bin 5. $ sudo service apache2 restart 6. add the following code and don't forget to save the changes:- ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"> Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Require all granted AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi </Directory> into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ 000-default.conf $ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf # so that it looks like this:- <VirtualHost *:80>
