[GRASS-user] Re: r.mapcalc

Jainita,

Create a map with the line of sight you want to analyze. Reclassify it
(r.reclass or r.recode) to make the cells in the line you want to analyze 1
and the rest of the cells 0.

Jainita,

Use the binary map setting to specify the area you want to do visibility
analysis for. It should be 1 where you want visibility/los calcuations and 0
where you don't want this calculated.

Hi,I tried with r.los but it gives visibility all over i.e in 360degree for
the distance specified.
But I want only between two points in a line i.e not 360 degree so can you
help me with it.
I would be really oblige if you help me since I am racking my mail a lot on
this and still unable to find the solution
Thanking you once again
