NAME

r.quant - This routine produces the quantization file for a floating-point map.

SYNOPSIS

r.quant

r.quant help

r.quant [-tr] [basemap=string] input=string[,string,...] fprange=dmin,dmax range=min,max

Flags:

"-t
Truncate floating point data
"-r
Round floating point data

Parameters:

"basemap=string
Base map to take quant rules from Default: NONE
"input=string[,string,...]
Raster map(s) to be quantized
"fprange=dmin,dmax
Floating point range: dmin,dmax Default:
"range=min,max
Integer range: min,max Default: 1,255

DESCRIPTION

r.quant produces the quantization file for a floating-point map.

The map parameter defines the map for which the rules be to be created. If more than one map is specified, then this implies that the floating-point range is the miniumum and maximum of all the maps together, unless either basemap=map or fprange=min,max is specified.

Quant rules

The quant rules have to be entered interactively.

If rules is specified, the input has the form:

value1:value2:cat1:[cat2]

where value1 and value2 are floating point values and cat1 cand cat2 are integers. If cat2 is missing, it is taken to be equal to cat1. All values can be "*" which means infinity.

NOTE

It is an error for both basemap and fprange to be specified.
