r.le.patch

r.le.patch help

r.le.patch [-cnptu] map=string [sam=string] [reg=string] [att=string[,string,...]] [siz=string[,string,...]] [co1=integer] [co2=string[,string,...]] [sh1=string] [sh2=string[,string,...]] [bnd=string[,string,...]] [per=string[,string,...]] [out=string] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-c

Output map 'interior' with patch cores (specify co1 & co2)

-n

Output map 'num' with patch numbers

-p

Include sampling area boundary as perimeter

-t

Use 4 neighbor instead of 8 neighbor tracing

-u

Output maps 'units_x' with sampling units for each scale x

--verbose

Verbose module output

--quiet

Quiet module output

DESCRIPTION

The r.le.patch module calculates attribute, patch size, core (interior) size, shape, fractal dimension, and perimeter measures for sets of patches in a landscape.

NOTES

Full instructions can be found in the r.le manual (see "REFERENCES" section below) and the r.le.setup help page.
