Distances from cells containing the user-specified category values are calculated using the "fromcell" method. This method locates each cell that contains a category value from which distances are to be calculated, and draws the requested distance rings around them. This method works very fast when there are few cells containing the category values of interest, but works slowly when there are numerous cells containing the category values of interest spread throughout the area.
r.buffer measures distances from center of cell to center of cell using Euclidean distance measure for planimetric locations (like UTM) and using ellipsoidal geodesic distance measure for latitude/longitude locations.
r.buffer calculates distance zones from all cells having non-NULL category values in the input map. If the user wishes to calculate distances from only selected input map layer category values, the user should run (for example) r.reclass prior to r.buffer, to reclass all categories from which distance zones are not desired to be calculated into category NULL.
The -z flag can be used to ignore raster values of zero instead of NULL values in the input raster map.
