r.li.shape(1grass) GRASS GIS User's Manual r.li.shape(1grass)

NAME

r.li.shape - Calculates shape index on a raster map

KEYWORDS

raster, landscape structure analysis, patch index

SYNOPSIS

r.li.shape
r.li.shape --help
r.li.shape input=name config=name output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:


Allow output files to overwrite existing files

Print usage summary

Verbose module output

Quiet module output

Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:


Name of input raster map

Configuration file

Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

r.li.shape calculates the landscape shape index as:

LSI = 0.25 * E / sqrt(A)

with:

  • E: sum of all edges
  • A: sum of all patch areas

NOTES

Do not use absolute path names for the config and output file/map parameters. If the "moving window" method was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).

If the input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.shape returns NULL.

EXAMPLES

To calculate the shape index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file (previously defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in my_out, run:

r.li.shape input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:

g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
r.li.shape input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_shape_mov7
r.univar forests_shape_mov7

Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:

g.region raster=landclass96 -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
r.li.shape input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_shape_mov7
# verify
r.univar forests_shape_mov7
r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
d.mon wx0
d.rast forests_shape_mov7
d.vect forests type=boundary
