Hi Tanya,

I would use r.distance rather than r.grow.distance and then reclassify
the results to include only areas with <=1108 m distance - that should
be a lot easier.

I don't think r.distance gives what you want, however r.grow.distance should be exactly your tool:

As a starting point you need a raster map with all pixels in the orchard non-null and all other pixels null Let's call that raster map 'orchard'. Then you can do the following:

r.grow.distance input=orchard distance=distance_map

Then, if you only want to see the distance from the orchard to 1108m, then you can use r.mapcalc:

r.mapcalc "final_distance_map=if(distance_map>1108, null(), distance_map)"

All this keeping in mind that I don't understand what you mean by "I recognize this tool does not allow a distance to be included".

If this means that you also want to measure a distance _within_ the orchard, then instead of using a raster map of the orchard, use as input to r.grow.distance a raster map with only the center pixel of the orchard non-null.

    Hello,

    I am trying to run the grow.distance command to create a raster that
    displays the euclidean distance from an 'orchard' outward to 1108m.
      I am not trying to measure the distance between 2 non-null
    features, but simply wish to have the euclidean distance extend out
    from the orchard to 1108m.  I recognize this tool does not allow a
    distance to be included so I created a buffer around my orchard
    (1108m) and intended to run grow.distance on that, however it
    outputs the distance as if it includes the full raster extent (so I
    have an output raster of 1108m that is all yellow as opposed to a
    range of values displaying varying distances) and not limited to my
    buffer. I want it to assume the buffer extent is the raster extent,
    so to speak.  Is there another way to do this?
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Best,

    Tanya
