## 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.
