For DCELL, r.info uses %.15g for the range, while r.mapcalc uses %.8g
for floating-point constants in the history. The "%g" format specifier
omits trailing zeros, and omits the decimal point if nothing follows
it.

The alternatives are "%f", which uses a fixed number of decimal
places, "%e" which always uses scientific (exponential) notation, or
"%#g", which always includes the decimal point and trailing zeros. All
of these have their drawbacks.

Would would be nice would be like the existing behaviour but always
retaining the decimal point and at least one digit, but there isn't
any easy way to get that.

Note that r.surf.contour works in floating-point and generates DCELL
output, so the multiplication and subsequent division should be
unnecessary.

The messages were not tagged for translation in GRASS 6.4.
I have backported that now, still have to update the .po files
(asap).

[GRASS-user] r.mapcalc questions

2011-06-08 Thread Frank Broniewski

Hi,

I have some questions concerning the use of r.mapcalc. I have a DEM made 
by r.surf.contour using the approach in the wiki (multiplying by 
10)[1]. Now when calculating back the original values I wonder about 
the values given by r.info. Calculation is done like so within the 
wxpython map calculator: r.mapcalc dtm_surf = dtm_surf.100k / 10.0


Now r.info tells me:
Data Type:DCELL
which seems OK, but
Range of data:min = 130  max = 555
-> shouldn't these be float values after calculation?
and the comments
dtm_surf.100k / 10
I definitely typed 10.0! Where're my .0s? A quick visual 
verification with r.slope.aspect shows some terracing effects. That lets 
me suspect that the conversion to a DEM float raster failed somehow - 
but why?


I'm using the osgeo4w build on windows 7 64. GRASS GIS version is 6.4.1 
(2011).


Many thanks

Frank

[GRASS-user] Reference for Boyles algorithm in v.generalize

2011-06-08 Thread Johannes Radinger
Hello,

i posted that question already some time ago but didn't get any
reply/idea...

Here again:

I am looking for the literature reference for Boyle's algorithm in 
v.generalize. What is the source this tool is based on. Does anyone know
the original literature?

Thank you

[GRASS-user] Movement Cost: Euclidean results?

2011-06-08 Thread David

Dear GRASS-users,

I want to obtain a movement cost layer (r.walk) which only regards pure 
walking cost (without a friction layer). I've generated a 32 bit geotiff 
DEM (not too big) and a constant value = 1 grid as friction surface (for 
being neutral). Unfortunately GRASS only gives me a symmetrical result 
as there would be no relief.
Is is not possible to perform a simple movement-cost analysis without 
any optional friction maps? Using a constant value grid (or lamda = 0) 
doesn't work unfortunately. I'm always getting symmetrical/euclidean 
results.


Thank you!

Regards
David

[GRASS-user] Re: Writing a script for image classification

2011-06-08 Thread Martin Brandt
you can  save the script as myscript.sh, and start Grass in a terminal (type
grass) and select your location and mapset (now you can close the gui). In
the terminal you go to the directory where you saved the script, make it
executable (type chmod 0755 myscript.sh) and start the script with
./myscript.sh..

before that you need to modify the script, i.e. set the variablesfor
example maps="yourmapset" is your mapset, raster"band1,band2,band3" are your
raster files you want to group..if you already made a signaturfile, you
can skip most of the script

Thanks Edgar, the results are indeed better with a bit of smoothing.

Hi
I have exacly the same problem. Is this some limitation on building 
these installers? Or it may be some error that both of us did
