NAME
r.surf.gauss - GRASS module to produce a raster map layer of gaussian deviates whose mean and standard deviation can be expressed by the user. It uses a gaussian random number generator.
KEYWORDS
raster
SYNOPSIS
r.surf.gauss
r.surf.gauss help
r.surf.gauss output=name [mean=float] [sigma=float] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- output=name
- Name of the output random surface
- mean=float
- Distribution mean
- Default: 0.0
- sigma=float
- Standard deviation
- Default: 1.0
DESCRIPTION
r.surf.gauss produces a raster map layer of Gaussian deviates whose
mean and standard deviation can be expressed by the user. It uses a Gaussian
random number generator. It is essentialy the same as r.surf.random,
but uses a Gaussian random number generator instead.
