 I would expect it to be the other way around.

I might remember reading in the manual of a module that it uses the region and 
MASK - but in
general it might be the other way round.

 Most raster modules respect the current region and mask, because it happens 
 automatically.

So the default behaviour is: all r. modules respect the region and MASK, with 
some exceptions.

 Modules which don't want to use the current region have to explicitly set the 
 working region
 (typically based upon an input map); modules which don't want inputs to be 
 masked have to
 explicitly disable masking.

Makes sense.

 
 As a general guideline, you should expect any module which actually processes 
 raster data to
 honour the current region and mask (r.info isn't such a module; it just 
 display's the map's
 metadata).

Based on what you say, I think it might be a good idea to

a) state this on the manual page about the raster modules, and

b) separate the list of raster modules into the ones which
  - respect region and MASK
  - respect region only
  - respect MASK only (I don't thik there are any)
  - use the region of the map and don't use MASK

I think this would clarify things a lot.

Cheers,

Rainer

I wanted to, but it was completely garbled due to line breaks:

 Does the current region match the raster? r.info displays statistics for the

Thanks a lot - that is the problem - the wind file was different. Fixed it and 
it is working now.

As some commands do use the region and mask, while others don't, it might be a 
good idea to make
this clear in the manual - I know, it is stated if they do, but not if they 
don't.

An sub-section under the Description might be an option?

Cheers,

[GRASS-user] Possible bug in r.sum and in r.stats?

2012-03-06 Thread Rainer M Krug
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I get the following output as seen on the screenshot.

My setup:

one mapset PERMANENT (linked), one mapset in which the map is,
executed from mapset ANALYSIS.

$R@$MS is
hsericea_seedsplant_2...@haksim.279.edited.tar.gz.capepeninsula.capepeninsula.none-12

Look at the number of cells in r.stats, compared to total cells as
given by r.info (which is correct).

Any ideas what is happening? I want to calculate the sum of the same
map in 500 different mapsets, so I am using this approach.

Any input welcome,

Rainer
