SYNOPSIS
r.region
r.region help
r.region [-cd] map=name [region=name] [raster=name] [vector=name] [3dview=name] [n=value] [s=value] [e=value] [w=value] [align=name]

  Flags:

-c  Set from current region

-d  Set from default region

  Parameters:

map=name
    Raster map to change

region=name
    Set region from named region

raster=name
    Set region to match this raster map

vector=name
    Set region to match this vector map

3dview=name
    Set region to match this 3dview file

n=value
    Value for the northern edge (format dd:mm:ss{N|S})

s=value
    Value for the southern edge (format dd:mm:ss{N|S})

e=value
    Value for the eastern edge (format ddd:mm:ss{E|W})

w=value
    Value for the western edge (format ddd:mm:ss{E|W})

align=name
    Raster map to align to

DESCRIPTION
The r.region program allows the user to manage the boundaries of a raster map. These boundaries can be set by the user directly and/or set from a region definition file (stored under the windows directory in the user's current mapset), a raster or vector map, or a 3dview file.

The align parameter allows to set the current resolution equal to that of the named raster map, and align the boundaries to a row and column edge in the named map. Alignment only moves the existing boundaries outward to the edges of the next nearest cell in the named raster map -- not to the named map's edges. To perform the latter function, use the raster=name option.

NOTE
After all updates have been applied, the raster map's resolution settings are recomputed from the boundaries and the number of rows and columns in the raster map.
