    Default: 255

sort=string

DESCRIPTION
r.stats calculates the area present in each of the categories or floating-point intervals of user-selected input raster map. Area statistics are given in units of square meters and/or cell counts. This analysis uses the current geographic region (g.region) and mask settings (r.mask). The output statistics can be saved to a output file.

Area statistics is printed in square meters for each category when -a is given. Similarly if -c flag is chosen, areas will be stated also in number of cells.

NOTES
If a single raster map is specified, a list of categories will be printed. If multiple raster maps are specified, a cross-tabulation table for each combination of categories in the raster maps will be printed.

For example, if one raster map was specified, the output would look like:

1 1350000.00
2 4940000.00
3 8870000.00

If three raster maps were specified, the output would look like:

0 0 0 8027500.00
0 1 0 1152500.00
1 0 0 164227500.00
1 0 1 2177500.00
1 1 0 140092500.00
1 1 1 3355000.00
2 0 0 31277500.00
2 0 1 2490000.00
2 1 0 24207500.00
2 1 1 1752500.00
3 0 0 17140000.00
3 1 0 11270000.00
3 1 1 2500.00

Within each grouping, the first field represents the category value of first raster map, the second represents the category values associated with second raster map, the third represents category values for third raster map, and the last field gives the area in square meters for the particular combination of these three raster maps’ categories. For example, above, combination 3,1,1 covered 2500 square meters. Fields are separated by the separator option. The output from r.stats is sorted by category or category intervals (for floating-point raster maps).

Note that the user has only the option of printing out cell statistics in terms of cell counts and/or area totals. Users wishing to use different units than are available here should use r.report.

EXAMPLES
