--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

input=name [required]: Name of input raster map
output=name [required]: Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

r.reclass.area reclasses a raster map greater or less than a user specified area size (in hectares).

If the -c flag is used, r.reclass.area will skip the creation of a clumped raster and assume that the input raster is already clumped.

In this example, the ZIP code map in the North Carolina sample dataset location is filtered for smaller areas which are substituted with the value of the respective adjacent area with largest shared boundary. Reclass by substitutional removing of areas minor of 1000 ha:

r.reclass.area input=zipcodes output=zipcodes_minor1000ha mode=lesser value=1000 method=rmarea

Figure: r.reclass.area method=rmarea
