DESCRIPTION
i.target targets an imagery group to a GRASS data base project name and mapset. A project name and mapset are required for the i.rectify imagery module, into which to write the rectified map just prior to completion of the program; i.target enables the user to specify this project. i.target must be run before g.gui.gcp and i.rectify.

NOTES

The module’s first option asks for the name of the imagery group that needs a target. The imagery group must be present in the user’s current mapset. An imagery group may be targeted to any GRASS project.

If a group name is given without setting options, the currently targeted group will be displayed.
