<h2>NAME</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">gshhs2grass
− Extracting GSHHS and WDBII data in GRASS-compatible
ASCII format</p>
<a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>gshhs2grass
−i</b> gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b [
<b>−x</b><i>minx</i> ] [<b>−X</b><i>maxx</i> ] [

]</p>
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>gshhs2grass</b>
reads the binary coastline (GSHHS) and and translates it
into an ASCII format suitable for import into GRASS. It
automatically handles byte-swabbing between different
architectures. <i><br>
gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">One of the GSHHS binary data
file as distributed with the GSHHS data supplement. Any of
the 5 standard resolutions (full, high, intermediate, low,
crude) can be used. The resulting files are called
dig_[ascii|att|cats].gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].</p>
