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, surface, random

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.

r.surf.gauss map histogram
Histogram of map generated with r.surf.gauss (mean=0, sigma=10)
