easting northing [text] . . . easting northing [text]The eastings and northings define points in the coordinate space. Each line is examined to determine if the point falls within the current region, current mask (if any), and optionally an additional raster map that acts as a secondary mask. If the point falls outside the current region or falls in a grid cell that has value zero (either in the current mask, or the specified mask file), then the entire line is suppressed. Otherwise it is printed exactly as it is input. There may be arbitrary text following the coordinate pairs and this text is output as well.
Flags
Normal input has the east first and the north second. This option allows the order of the coordinates to be north first and east next.
Parameters
This parameter is optional. If not specified, then the points are mask by the default mask (if there is one). If it is specified, then the points are mask by this layer as well as the default mask.
If not specified it is assumed that the user will either redirect the input from a file:
or pipe the results from some other process (e.g., a DBMS query) into r.mask.points
If the coordinates are not separated by white space, but by some other character, this option specifies that character. For example, if a colon is used between the east and north, then r.mask..point can be told this by:
