Piping in here after a quick glance at the source code...
When the "-c" option to r.neighbors is selected, a neighborhood mask of booleans
is created by this loop (in pseudocode):
neighborhoodDistance=neighborhoodSize/2 (in integer math)
for (i=0; i<neigborhoodSize; i++)
for (j=0; j<neighborhoodSize; j++)
mask[i][k]= ( (i-neighborhoodDistance)^2 + (j-neighborhoodDistance)^2 <=
(neighborhoodDistance)^2
So in a 3x3 example, neighborhoodSize=3, neighborhoodDistance=1, and your
first diagram has "o"s where the mask is true. The corners of the square
wouldn't be in the mask (as in Eric's 3x3), because those points would have
the left hand side of the inequality equal to 2, making the mask false.
I haven't actually *tried* the code, but that is what the block of code in
gather.c for circular neighborhoods says it should be doing.
