DESCRIPTION

17       r.li.setup   creates  and shows configuration files for the others r.li
18       programs. For a general introduction, see r.li.
19       The configurations are raster map independent, it means  that  you  can
20       use a file created on a raster map for analyze any other you have.
21       The program is completly interactive and uses a GUI to help you in your
22       choices.
23
24   Analysis methods
25       Definition of region for analysis:
26
27                      Whole maplayer: entire map (current region),
28
29                      Keyboard setting: based on keyboard selection for region
30                     definition,
31
32                      Draw  the  sampling  frame:  based on interactive region
33                     selection via mouse.
34       Definition of creation of sampling area:
35
36                      Whole maplayer: use entire area selected above,
37
38                      Regions: select one to many subareas via mouse,
39
40                      Sample units: automated selection of sampling area  (for
41                     details see below)
42
43                             Random nonoverlapping,
44
45                             Systematic contiguous,
46
47                             Systematic noncontiguous,
48
49                             Stratified random,
50
51                             Centered over sites (vector points).
52              Moving  window:  rectagular  or  circular with size Select areas
53              from the overlayed vector map (for details see below)
54
55   Usage details
56       The startup window shows your configuration files, you can:
57
58       1      Load a file: the configuration is printed using rectangles  with
59              differents  colors (green for the raster map, red for the sample
60              frame and blue for the sample areas), and other notes  (disposi‐
61              tion  of  sample areas etc).  The configuration file is saved in
62              ~/.r.li/history/my_conf.  Configuration output files are  raster
63              if moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in
64              ~/.r.li/output folder.
65
66              All dimension are percentage of raster rows or columns.
67
68       2      Create a new file: this create a new configuration  file  in  an
69              interactive way, in three steps
70
71
72       2.1
73               Choose file name and maps to use for setting:
74
75                      Configuration file name (required): the name of new con‐
76                     figuration file
77
78                      Raster map name (required): the name of  raster  map  to
79                     use for setting
80
81                      Vector  map  to overlay (optional): name of a vector map
82                     to overlay in setting
83
84                      Site file to overlay (optional): name of vector  map  of
85                     points type to overlay in setting
86
87       2.6
88               Set  the sampling frame. The sample frame is a rectangular area
89              which contains all the areas to analyze. It can  be  defined  in
90              three ways:
91
92                     Whole map layer: the sample frame is the whole map
93
94                     Keyboard  setting:  the  user  enters  the coordinates in
95                     cells of upper left corner  of  sampling  frame  and  its
96                     length in rows and columns
97
98                     Draw the sample frame: the user draws the sample frame on
99                     map using mouse.
100
101       2.10
102               Set the sample areas. The sample areas are simply the areas  to
103              analyze.  They  can  be  defined  in  five ways (see the picture
104              below):
105
106                     Whole map layer: the sample  area  is  the  whole  sample
107                     frame
108
109                     Regions:  the  user  enters  the number of areas and then
110                     draws them using mouse.
111
112                     Sample units: they are areas of rectangular  or  circular
113                     shape. The user can define them using keyboard or mouse.
114
115                            keyboard:  the  user  define  the  shape of sample
116                            unists and their disposition:
117
118                                   Random non overlapping: the user  specifies
119                                   the  number  of  sample  units and they are
120                                   placed in a random way at  runtime.  It  is
121                                   guaranted  that  the areas do not intersect
122                                   themselfs.
123
124                                   Systematic contiguous: the  defined  sample
125                                   is  placed  covering the sample frame, side
126                                   by side across rows.
127
128                                   Systematic  non  contiguous:  the  same  as
129                                   above,  but  here  ever rectangle is spaced
130                                   from another by a specified number of cells
131
132                                   Stratified  random:  the  sample  frame  is
133                                   divided in n strats of rows and m strats of
134                                   columns (n and m are given by  user),  then
135                                   the  specified  number  of sample areas are
136                                   placed in a random way, one for  every  m*n
137                                   areas defined by strats.
138
139                                   Centered  over  sites: the sample areas are
140                                   placed into sample frame centering them  on
141                                   points in site file.
142
143                     2.20   mouse:  the  user chooses the shape and then draws
144                            the specified number of sample areas on map.
145
146              2.21   Moving Window: the user defines a rectangular or circular
147                     area,  it is moved over all the raster increasing only of
148                     a cell for every move(in columns if possible, if  not  in
149                     rows).  It produces a new raster containing the result of
150                     all analysis.
151
152              2.22   Select areas from the overlayed vector  map:  the  sample
153                     areas  are defined by the vector map selected above.  For
154                     every cat in vector map, the procedure prompts  the  user
155                     if  he wants to include it as sample area.  The resulting
156                     configuration file can be used only  with  the  specified
157                     raster  map,  and the procedure can be used only if whole
158                     map layer is selected as sampling frame.
159
160              3      Remove a file the  selected  file  is  deleted  from  the
161                     available configuration files.

NOTES

168       Configuration  files are raster map independent because areas are saved
169       using relative coordinates.
