SYNOPSIS

r.le.patch
r.le.patch --help
r.le.patch [-cnptu] map=string [sam=string] [reg=string] [att=string[,string,...]] [siz=string[,string,...]] [co1=integer] [co2=string[,string,...]] [sh1=string] [sh2=string[,string,...]] [bnd=string[,string,...]] [per=string[,string,...]] [out=string] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-c
Output map 'interior' with patch cores (specify co1 & co2)
-n
Output map 'num' with patch numbers
-p
Include sampling area boundary as perimeter
-t
Use 4 neighbor instead of 8 neighbor tracing
-u
Output maps 'units_x' with sampling units for each scale x
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
