(Kind of Off-Topic) Micha Silver: As a further exercise, I took a small region of 54 cells with floating point values, and using the feature=area option to r.to.vect I created a vector map of polygons. Hi Micha! I am curious about the 540.000 cells. This is _not_ really small, is it?

I think that r.to.vect wants to build a line structure, like river channels, but sees all the raster cells occupied, so no linear structure, and the advice to thin first is then appropriate. If this is connected to your question about calculating a measure of spatial autocorrelation for the

The other thread was on the openspace list and was concerned with calculating local Moran's Ii. My comments there copied here for completeness: In your case, temperature will be being driven by altitude at least, and possibly other important omitted variables. I also think that you will find

Hello Milton Roger's answer was, as always, both complete and to the point. As a further exercise, I took a small region of 54 cells with floating point values, and using the feature=area option to r.to.vect I created a vector map of polygons. It produced over 36 polygons. Most will

[GRASS-user] problem on vectorizing a float point raster

2009-06-09 Thread Milton Cezar Ribeiro
Dear Grass-Gurus, I have a 2400x2200 raster image with values ranging from 0.1 to 42, in float format. Now I need vetororize the image, on the way that each pixel come to be a polygon and the pixel value be stored as attribute. I am trying to do this using: r.to.vect input=temp71.img
