DESCRIPTION
r.li.shape calculates the landscape shape index as:
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\GRASS7\r.li\output\
(MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass7/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
