       basename=string [required]
           Basename of the new generated output maps
           A numerical suffix separated by an underscore will be attached to create a unique identifier

       suffix=string
           Suffix to add at basename: set ’gran’ for granularity, ’time’ for the full  time  format,  ’num’  for
           numerical suffix with a specific number of digits (default %05)
           Default: gran

           Increment between contour levels

       levels=float[,float,...]
           List of contour levels

       minlevel=float
           Minimum contour level

       maxlevel=float
           Maximum contour level

       cut=integer
           Minimum number of points for a contour line (0 -> no limit)
           Default: 0

       nprocs=integer
           Number  of r.contour processes to run in parallel, more than 1 process works only in conjunction with
           flag -t
           Default: 1

DESCRIPTION

       t.rast.contour is designed to produce a space time vector dataset of specified contours from a space time
       raster dataset. This module works as a front-end to r.contour and therefore  supports  all  parameter  of
       this  module.  Hence,  all  raster  map  layers in a space time raster dataset are successively passed to
       r.contour that computes the contour lines.  Please refer to the r.contour documentation  for  a  detailed
       description.   The  new  generated  vector contour map layers will be registered in the output space time
       vector dataset, using the same time stamps as their raster map layer origins.

       This module supports the parallel processing of  r.contour  module  instances.  The  number  of  parallel
       processes  can  be  set  with the nprocs option.  However, this will only work in conjunction with the -t
       flag, that avoids the creation of attribute tables.  The parallel creation of  attribute  tables  is  not
       supported.

       The where option allows selecting subsets of the input space time raster dataset.

       The flag -n can be used to force the registration of empty vector map layers. Empty vector maps may occur
       in  case  that  empty raster map layers should be converted into vector map layers, or in case the chosen
       steps or contour levels are not present in the raster map layers.
