30 The g.gui.rlisetup is a wxGUI component which allows the user to create
31 a configuration file for the analytical r.li modules. For a general in‐
32 troduction, see the r.li overview.
33 The configurations are raster map independent, it means that you can
34 use a file created on a raster map for analyze any other you have.
35 The program is completely interactive and uses a GUI to help you in
36 your choices.
37 Analysis methods
39 Definition of creation of sampling area:
40 • Whole map layer: use entire area selected above,
42 • Regions: select one to many subareas via mouse,
44 • Sample units: automated selection of sampling area (for details
46 see below)
47 • Random nonoverlapping,
49 • Systematic contiguous,
51 • Systematic noncontiguous,
53 • Stratified random,
55 • Centered over sites (vector points).
57 • Moving window: rectangular or circular with size
59 Definition of region for analysis:
61 • Whole map layer: entire map (current region),
63 • Keyboard setting: based on keyboard selection for region defi‐
65 nition,
66 • Draw the sampling frame: based on interactive region selection
68 via mouse.
69 Usage details
71 The startup window shows your configuration files, you can:
72 TODO: description below needs further updates
74 1 View/Edit (Load a file) from the shown list: the configuration
76 is shown in a small text editor window. Configuration files are
77 saved in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\
78 (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.r.li/ (GNU/Linux) (the file name can be
79 defined by the user). The output or an analysis can either be a
80 new raster map (in case of using a "moving window" analysis) or
81 be an ASCII text file (when not performing a "moving window"
82 analysis) containing the result. Such text file will be saved
83 in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\out‐
84 put\ (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
85 All dimensions are percentages of raster rows or columns.
86 2 Create a new configuration file: used for creating a new config‐
88 uration file in an interactive way, in three steps:
89 2.1 Choose file name and maps to use for setting:
91 • Name for new configuration file(required): the name of new con‐
93 figuration file
94 • Raster map name to use to select areas (required): the name of
96 raster map used for selecting sampling areas
97 • Vector map to overlay (optional): name of a vector map used for
99 selecting sampling areas
100 2.2 Set the sampling frame. The sample frame is a rectangular area
102 which contains all the areas to analyze. It can be defined in
103 three ways:
104 • Whole map layer: the sample frame is the whole map
106 • Keyboard setting: the user enters the coordinates in cells of
108 upper left corner of sampling frame and its length in rows and
109 columns.
110 • Draw the sample frame: the user draws the sample frame on map
112 using mouse.
113 2.3 Set the sample areas. The sample areas are simply the areas to
115 analyze. They can be defined in five ways (see the picture be‐
116 low):
117 • Whole map layer: the sample area is the whole sample frame
119 • Regions: the user enters the number of areas and then draws
121 them using mouse.
122 • Sample units: they are areas of rectangular or circular shape.
124 The user can define them using keyboard or mouse.
125 • keyboard: the user define the shape of sample unists and
127 their disposition:
128 • Random non overlapping: the user specifies the number
130 of sample units and they are placed in a random way at
131 runtime. It is guaranteed that the areas do not inter‐
132 sect themselves.
133 • Systematic contiguous: the defined sample is placed
135 covering the sample frame, side by side across rows.
136 • Systematic non contiguous: the same as above, but here
138 ever rectangle is spaced from another by a specified
139 number of cells.
140 • Stratified random: the sample frame is divided in n
142 strats of rows and m strats of columns (n and m are
143 given by user), then the specified number of sample ar‐
144 eas are placed in a random way, one for every m*n areas
145 defined by strats.
146 • Centered over sites: the sample areas are placed into
148 sample frame centering them on points in site file.
149 • mouse: the user chooses the shape and then draws the speci‐
151 fied number of sample areas on map.
152 • Moving Window: the user defines a rectangular or circular area,
154 it is moved over all the raster increasing only of a cell for
155 every move(in columns if possible, if not in rows). It pro‐
156 duces a new raster containing the result of all analysis.
157 • Select areas from the overlaid vector map: the sample areas are
159 defined by the vector map selected above. For every cat in
160 vector map, the procedure prompts the user if they want to in‐
161 clude it as sample area. The resulting configuration file can
162 be used only with the specified raster map, and the procedure
163 can be used only if whole map layer is selected as sampling
164 frame.
165 3 Remove a file the selected file is deleted from the available
167 configuration files.
168 4 Help: open this help text.
170 5 Close module window.

174 Configuration files are raster map independent because areas are saved
175 using relative coordinates.

192 Moving window analysis on full region
193 TODO: update examples to new g.gui.rlisetup dialog:
194 Example for a 7x7 moving window analysis on full region, the output is
196 a raster map:
197 Click on "New", then:
199 • Configuration file name: "movwindow7"
201 • Raster map name to use to select areas: "forests"
203 1. Setup sampling frame:
204 • Define a sampling frame (region for analysis): "Whole map
206 layer", then "OK"
207 2. Setup sampling frame
208 • Define sampling areas: "Moving window", then "OK"
210 • Then click on "Use keyboard to define moving window dimension"
212 Select type of shape:
213 • [x] Rectangular
215 • Width size (in cells)?: "7"
217 • Height size (in cells)?: "7"
219 • Then "Save settings"
221 3. Save settings: click on button
222 (4.) Close
223 Now an anaysis can be performed using one of the analytical modules,
225 e.g.
226 g.region raster=forests -p
227 r.li.patchdensity input=forests conf=movwindow7 output=forests_p_dens7
228 r.univar forests_p_dens7
229 The result is the new raster map "forests_p_dens7" which shows (in this
230 example) the patch density of the forest areas.
231 See the respective modules for further examples.
232 Whole region analysis
234 Example for a whole region analysis, the output is a text file: Click
235 on "New", then:
236 • Configuration file name: "whole_region"
238 • Raster map name to use to select areas: "lsat7_2000_40"
240 1. Setup sampling frame:
241 • Define a sampling frame (region for analysis): "Whole map
243 layer", then "OK"
244 2. Setup sampling frame
245 • Define sampling areas: "Whole map layer", then "OK"
247 3. Save settings: click on button
248 (4.) Close
249 Now an anaysis can be performed using one of the analytical modules,
251 e.g.
252 g.region raster=lsat7_2002_40 -p
253 r.li.shannon input=lsat7_2000_40 conf=whole_region output=lsat7_2000_40_shannon
254 The result is the new text file "forests_p_dens7" (stored in folder
255 $HOME/.r.li/output/.
256 See the respective modules for further examples.
