r.rescale - Rescales the range of category values in a raster map layer.
KEYWORDS
raster
SYNOPSIS
r.rescale
r.rescale help
r.rescale input=string [from=min,max] output=string to=min,max [title=phrase] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- --overwrite

- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- input=string
- The name of the raster map to be rescaled
- from=min,max
- The input data range to be rescaled (default: full range of input map)
- output=string
- The resulting raster map name
- to=min,max
- The output data range
- title=phrase
- Title for new raster map
DESCRIPTION
The r.rescale program rescales the range of
category values appearing in a raster map layer. A new
raster map layer, and an appropriate category file and
color table based upon the original raster map layer, are
generated with category labels that reflect the original
category values that produced each category. This command
is useful for producing representations with a reduced
number of categories from a raster map layer with a large
range of category values (e.g., elevation).
Rescaled map layers are appropriate for use in
such GRASS programs as
r.stats,
r.report, and
r.coin.
EXAMPLE
To rescale an elevation raster map layer with category
values ranging from 1090 meters to 1800 meters into the
range 0-255, the following command line could be used
(without the from parameter, the full value range will
be used):
r.rescale input=elevation from=1090,1800 output=elevation.255 to=0,255
NOTES
Category values that fall beyond the input range will
become NULL. This allows the user to select a subset of
the full category value range for rescaling if desired.
This also means that the user should know the category
value range for the input raster map layer. The user can
request the r.rescale program to determine
this range, or can obtain it using the
r.describe or r.info
command. If the category value range is determined using
r.rescale, the input raster map layer is examined,
and the minimum and maximum non-NULL category values are
selected as the input range.
