DESCRIPTION

List time stamped raster map layers that are registered in a space time raster dataset. t.rast.list provides several options to list map layers and their metadata. Listing of map layer can be ordered by metadata, metadata columns can be specified and SQL where conditions can be provided to select a map layer subset of the input space time raster dataset. Most of the raster map specific metadat is available for column selection, sorting and SQL where statements. Using the method option allows the specification of different methods to list map layers. Method col is the default option and sensitive to the column,order and where options. It will simply print user specified metadata columns of one map layer per line. The comma method will list the map layer as comma separated list that can be used as input for spatial modules.

To print interval length in days and distance from the begin use method delta. Method deltagap will additionally print temporal gaps between map layer. The gran method allows the listing of map layer sampled by a user defined granule. As default the granularity of the space time raster dataset is used for sampling. The output column separator can be specified with the separator option.

EXAMPLES

This example shows several options that are available for map layers listing.

Default query

The following command is the default one, returning standard information like name, mapset, start_time, end_time of each map in the space time dataset 

t.rast.list tempmean_monthly
name|mapset|start_time|end_time
2009_01_tempmean|climate_2000_2012|2009-01-01 00:00:00|2009-02-01 00:00:00
2009_02_tempmean|climate_2000_2012|2009-02-01 00:00:00|2009-03-01 00:00:00
....
2012_11_tempmean|climate_2000_2012|2012-11-01 00:00:00|2012-12-01 00:00:00
2012_12_tempmean|climate_2000_2012|2012-12-01 00:00:00|2013-01-01 00:00:00

Add more info

The following command let the user to choose the columns to show 

t.rast.list tempmean_monthly columns=name,start_time,min,max
name|start_time|min|max
2009_01_tempmean|2009-01-01 00:00:00|-3.380823|7.426054
2009_02_tempmean|2009-02-01 00:00:00|-1.820261|8.006386
...
2009_01_tempmean|2009-01-01 00:00:00|-3.380823|7.426054
2009_02_tempmean|2009-02-01 00:00:00|-1.820261|8.006386

Filtering the result by value

In this example the result is filtered showing only the maps with max value major than 24 

t.rast.list tempmean_monthly columns=name,start_time,min,max where="max > 24"
name|start_time|min|max
2009_06_tempmean|2009-06-01 00:00:00|15.962669|25.819681
2009_07_tempmean|2009-07-01 00:00:00|15.32852|26.103664
2009_08_tempmean|2009-08-01 00:00:00|16.37995|27.293282
....
2012_06_tempmean|2012-06-01 00:00:00|14.929379|24.000651
2012_07_tempmean|2012-07-01 00:00:00|18.455802|28.794653
2012_08_tempmean|2012-08-01 00:00:00|15.718526|26.151115

Filtering the result by time range

In this example the result is filtered showing only the maps which fall into a specified time range (from .. to): 

t.rast.list tempmean_monthly columns=name,start_time,min,max \
  where="start_time > '2009-06-01 00:00:00' and start_time < '2012-08-01 00:00:00'"
name|start_time|min|max
2009_06_tempmean|2009-06-01 00:00:00|15.962669|25.819681
2009_07_tempmean|2009-07-01 00:00:00|15.32852|26.103664
2009_08_tempmean|2009-08-01 00:00:00|16.37995|27.293282
....
2012_06_tempmean|2012-06-01 00:00:00|14.929379|24.000651
2012_07_tempmean|2012-07-01 00:00:00|18.455802|28.794653
2012_08_tempmean|2012-08-01 00:00:00|15.718526|26.151115

Filtering the result by selecting recurring timestamps

In this example the result is filtered showing only the maps which fall into a specified recurring time range (here one month per year): 
t.rast.list Tseasonal_fieldata_garda where="strftime('%m', start_time)='06'"

Using method option

Method option is able to show raster in different way. By default cols value is used, the value comma will print only the list of maps inside the space time dataset: 

t.rast.list method=comma input=tempmean_monthly
2009_01_tempmean@climate_2009_2012,2009_02_tempmean@climate_2009_2012,2009_03_tempmean@climate_2009_2012, \
