NAME

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

KEYWORDS

raster, landscape structure analysis, patch index

SYNOPSIS

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.
