[GRASS-user] r.stream.* for grass7 major update

Hi all.

I committed changes in next version of r.stream for grass7 (available via svn-add-ons)
There are lots of changes to older version of grass6

I will not support version 6 of r.stream except critical bug-fix (i.e program crashes etc) anymore

- all modules are rewritten to use SEGMENT library (support for large DEMS)
- r.stream.order: offers independent stream network vectorization and can be utilized to vectorized r.watershed output
- r.stream.order: calculate more than 20 of morphometrical and hydrological parameters for network including 7 methods of ordering
- r.stream.stats: output results to stdout or to file; new style of output of Hortonian statistics
- r.stream.angle: is abandoned. New module r.stream.segment can be used to calculate stream segments parameters (ordered network) and to divide network to straight segments
- r.stream.channel, r.stream.slope: small but useful modules to investigate stream parameters along streamlines
- r.stream.snap: snap outlets and inits to pour points (experimental)
- more minor changes

Modules have been tested however I have no time to make deeper tests and I do not know how it will behave on some specific datasets. While r.stream is rather comprehensive toolset and I cannot do it perfectly without comprehensive tests. It works for me, but I'm sure it may not work for everyone. So everyones interested in this module working are asked to test them. It would be nice also to improve my English in descriptions.

If someone will decide to improve descriptions please send me corrected texts directly.

all other modules created by me (r.area, r.convergnce, r.fuzzy toolset) are also updated to version7. People interested in them are also asked for help in testing

Just a note to say thanks for this fantastic contribution. I've had
great success in using the r.stream.* modules (and MFD routing outputs
in r.watershed). These are really an incredible set of tools. I've
been using GRASS 6.5. For one analysis, we need to determine wetland
proximity and elevation to streams and outlets "as the water flows",
and not "as the crow flies" under a significant nexus study.
r.stream.distance got the job done with amazing results. For the same
project, the stream ordering (strahler) worked very well also. I am
anxious to try the other r.stream modules I have not used yet in 6.5,
and also to see the enhancements in 7.0.

I was looking for an excuse to post a "thank you", and thought this
reply to be on topic :slight_smile:
