i.quantize

NAME

i.quantize - An interactive imagery function that creates a raster map layer whose color table is based on the red, green, and blue color values present in existing, user-specified imagery group files.
(GRASS Image Processing Program)

SYNOPSIS

i.quantize

DESCRIPTION

i.quantize is an interactive imagery function that allows the user to create a new raster map layer whose color table values are based on the red, green, and blue color values present in (as many as) three raster map layers in an imagery group.

The user is first asked to enter the name of the imagery group from whose map layers red, green, and blue color values are to be extracted. The user is then shown a listing of imagery files in the specified group, and is asked to indicate which files in the group are to be used for red, green, and blue colors in the new map layer. Each color (red, green, and blue) must be specified once and only once.

The user is also asked to assign a name to the new raster map layer output.

NOTES

This program is interactive and requires no command line arguments.
The input files must ALL be within the range of 0-255.
