DESCRIPTION

i.spectral displays spectral response at user specified locations in images. It requires the user to either interactively select positions on the Xmonitor (the default) or can function non-interactively with sampling coordinates specified with the east_north option.

NOTES

This script needs gnuplot to be installed. Output may be to a new graphics window on your monitor (the default), or to an output file. Available output file formats are PNG, EPS, and SVG. In interactive mode use the -m flag to select multiple sampling points. Each coordinate pick will appear as a different colored line graph.

EXAMPLES

Analysis of LANDSAT TM7 channels (North Carolina dataset): 
g.region rast=lsat7_2002_10 -p
d.mon x0
d.rast lsat7_2002_40
i.spectral -i rast=lsat7_2002_10,lsat7_2002_20,lsat7_2002_30,lsat7_2002_40,lsat7_2002_50,lsat7_2002_70

Spectral plot of 3 different land cover types: (1) water, (2) green vegetation, and (3) highway

To analyze a time series of maps, use: 

d.rast map_1
LIST=`g.mlist type=rast mapset=timeseries pat="map_*" | \
   sort -t '_' -k 2 -n | tr '\n' ','| sed 's+,$++g'`
i.spectral -i rast=$LIST
This will search all maps in the mapset 'timeseries' which match have the 'map_' prefix and order by a number following this prefix (day of the year etc). The user is then asked to click into a map position and the resulting pixel values of all matching maps are drawn in the gnuplot output.
