NAME

r.li.edgedensity - Calculates edge density index on a raster map, using a 4 neighbour algorithm

KEYWORDS

raster, landscape structure analysis, patch index

SYNOPSIS

r.li.edgedensity
r.li.edgedensity help
r.li.edgedensity map=name conf=string output=name [patch_type=string] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

--overwrite

Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose

Verbose module output
--quiet

Quiet module output

Parameters:

map=name

Name of input raster map
conf=string

Configuration file
output=name

Name for output raster map
patch_type=string

The value of the patch type, it can be integer, double or float; it will be changed in function of map type

DESCRIPTION

r.li.edgedensity calculates:


 the density of all the edge of patch i

or

 the density of all the edge in the sampling area if i isn't specified

with:

k: patch type
m: number of patch type

 
n: number of edge segment of patch type k
eik :total length of edge in landscape involving patch type k

 Area: total landscape area

EXAMPLES

To calculate edge density index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file and saving results in my_out file run:

r.li.edgedensity map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
To calculate edge density index of patch_type 34, using my_conf configuration file and on map my_map, saving results in my_out file run:

r.li.edgedensity map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out patch_type=34

NOTES

Do not use absolute path names for output files. They are raster if moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in ~/.r.li/output folder.
If input raster is full of null values r.li.edgedensity consider to have 0 patch.
If area is 0 r.li.edgedensity returns -1; this is possible only if input raster is masked. If you want to have null values instead run

r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map
after index calculation.
