man r.circle () - Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a given point.

NAME

r.circle - Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a given point.

SYNOPSIS

r.circle

r.circle help

r.circle [-b] output=string coordinate=x,y [min=float] [max=float] [mult=float]

Flags:

"-b
Generate binary raster map

Parameters:

"output=string
Name for new raster file
"coordinate=x,y
The coordinate of the center (east,north)
"min=float
minimum radius for ring/circle map (in meters)
"max=float
maximum radius for ring/circle map (in meters)
"mult=float
Multiplier

DESCRIPTION

This module creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a given point. The cell values are increasing linear from the center point to outer rings. Minimum and maximum radius can be selected. Optionally a "donut" ring can be created to use as (binary) filter for i.ifft inverse Fourier transform (apply filter with r.mask).

EXAMPLES

Generate a circle at current map center with a radius of 300m:

EASTCENTER=g.region -c | awk ' /region center easting:/ { print $4 }'

NORTHCENTER=g.region -c | awk ' /region center northing:/ { print $4 }'

r.circle -b out=circle coordinate=$EASTCENTER,$NORTHCENTER max=300
