NAME
r.clump - Recategorizes data in a raster map by grouping cells that form physically discrete areas into unique categories.
KEYWORDS
raster,
statistics,
reclass,
clumps
SYNOPSIS
r.clump
r.clump --help
r.clump [-dg] input=name [output=name] [title=string] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
- -d
- Clump also diagonal cells
- Clumps are also traced along diagonal neighboring cells
- -g
- Print only the number of clumps in shell script style
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
- input=name [required]
- Name of input raster map
- output=name
- Name for output raster map
- title=string
- Title for output raster map
r.clump finds all areas of contiguous cell category values in
the input raster map. NULL values in the input are ignored. It assigns
a unique category value to each such area ("clump") in the
resulting output raster map.
Category distinctions in the input raster map are preserved. This
means that if distinct category values are adjacent, they will NOT be
clumped together. The user can
run r.reclass prior
to r.clump to recategorize cells and reassign cell category
values.
By default, the resulting clumps are connected only by their four
direct neighbors (left, right, top, bottom). The
-d flag
activates also diagonal clump tracing.
r.clump works properly with raster map that contains only
"fat" areas (more than a single cell in width). Linear
elements (lines that are a single cell wide) may or may not be clumped
together depending on the direction of the line - horizontal and
vertical lines of cells are considered to be contiguous, but diagonal
lines of cells are not considered to be contiguous and are broken up
into separate clumps unless the -d flag is used.
A random color table and other support files are generated for the
output raster map.
Perform clumping on "lakes" map (North Carolina sample dataset) and
report area sizes for each lake individually rather by waterbody type:
g.region raster=lakes -p
# report sizes by waterbody type
r.report lakes units=h
# clump per raster polygon
r.clump lakes out=lakes_individual
# report sizes by individual waterbody
r.report lakes_individual units=h
