I'm trying to save a raster map in GRASS in jpeg/bmp format without using the GUI for d.out.file/d.save. Is there a script to do it? I tried r.out.gdal but it produced a map that is black and white.

What's the range of the map? If it has negative values, they cannot be represented in JPEG/BMP to my knowledge. – markusN Mar 25 '11 at 17:43
it is from -25 to 1000. I'll just fix the negative values and Try saving it again. I had generated a jpeg file from a raster map using r.out.gdal but it just produced a black and white map – teamAngat Mar 26 '11 at 3:52

If it is a floating point map, also that cannot be represented in JPEG or BMP format. What do you want to achieve with the export? – markusN Mar 26 '11 at 8:45
It is a floating point map and I am trying to save it in another image format rather than PNG since PNG cannot be embedded directly on the application that I am using. – teamAngat Mar 27 '11 at 20:22
E.g. GeoTIFF can stored floating point. – markusN Mar 28 '11 at 23:33

Have a look on d.out.file command. See that page and format option. BMP is available.

You can use the GDAL library by:

r.out.gdal InRaster.dem format=JPEG output=out.jpg

have a look at the documentation here.

Small note: From GRASS 6.4 onwards, the command name is r.out.gdal – markusN Mar 27 '11 at 18:24

If for some odd reason d.out.file doesn't work, you could also add the GRASS raster to a QGIS map and use the File > Save as Image command. Alternatively, add to QGIS and create a layout which you can export as an image.
