- String representing NULL value
- Default: *
- nsteps=integer
- Number of quantization steps
- Default: 255
r.describe prints a terse listing of category values found in
a user-specified raster map layer.
r.describe ignores the current geographic region and mask, and
reads the full extent of the input raster map. This functionality is useful if the
user intends to reclassify or rescale the data,
since these functions (r.reclass and
r.rescale)
also ignore the current geographic region
and mask.
The nv parameter sets the string to be used to represent NULL
values in the module output; the default is '*'.
The nsteps parameter sets the number of quantisation steps to divide into
the input raster map.
If the user selects the
-r flag, a range of category values found in
the raster map layer will be printed. The range is divided into three groups:
negative, positive, and zero. If negative values occur, the minimum and maximum
negative values will be printed. If positive values occur, the minimum and maximum
positive values will be printed. If zero occurs, this will be indicated. The range
report will generally run faster than the full list (the default output).
The -d flag can be used to force r.describe to respect the current region
extents when repoting raster map categories. The default behavior is to read the full
extent of the input raster map.
If the -1 flag is specified, the output appears with one category value/range per line.
The -n flag suppresses the reporting of NULL values.
The following examples are from the Spearfish60 sample dataset:
# Print the full list of raster map categories:
r.describe landcover.30m
* 11 21-23 31 32 41-43 51 71 81-83 85 91 92
# Print the raster range only:
r.describe -r landcover.30m
11 thru 92
*
# Print raster map category range, suppressing nulls:
r.describe -n landcover.30m
11 21-23 31 32 41-43 51 71 81-83 85 91 92
# Print raster map categories, one category per line:
r.describe -1 geology
