NAME

r.circle - Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a given point.

SYNOPSIS

r.circle [-b] output=name coordinate=x,y [min=value] [max=value] [mult=value]

DESCRIPTION

This module creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a given point. The cell values are increasing linear from the center point to outer rings. Minimum and maximum radius can be selected. Optionally a "donut" ring can be created to use as (binary) filter for i.ifft inverse Fourier transform (apply filter with r.mask).

OPTIONS

Flag:

-b
Generate binary raster map

Parameters:

output=name
Name for new raster file
coordinate=x,y
The coordinate of the center (easting, northing)
min=value
Minimum radius for ring/circle map (in cell units)
max=value
Maximum radius for ring/circle map (in cell units)
mult=value
Multiplier

EXAMPLES

Generate a circle at current map center with a radius of 300m: 
      EASTCENTER=`g.region -c |  awk ' /region center easting:/ { print $4 }'`
      NORTHCENTER=`g.region -c | awk ' /region center northing:/ { print $4 }'`
      r.circle -b out=circle coordinate=$EASTCENTER,$NORTHCENTER max=300
