Raster data

For linking external raster data is used r.external. List of supported formats can be determined by

r.external -f

To link file-based data formats, eg. GeoTiff

r.external input=ncrast/urban.tif output=urban

Vector data

For linking external vector data is used v.external. List of supported formats can be determined by

v.external -f

To link file-based data formats, eg. ESRI Shapefile

v.external input=ncrast/urban.tif output=urban
