DESCRIPTION

When sampling the whole map (sam=W), the r.le.trace program can be used to do three things: (1) display the boundary of each patch and show how the boundary is traced, (2) display the attribute, size, perimeter, and shape indices for each patch, and (3) save these data in an output file.

Flags:

-n
Output map 'num' with patch numbers.
-p
Include sampling area boundary as perimeter.
-t
Use 4 neighbor tracing instead of 8 neighbor.

Parameters:

map
Raster map to be analyzed.
