Subject: r.reclass manual page

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.0

There is an error in the r.reclass manpage.

"r.mapcalc can also be used to convert a reclass map to a regular raster map layer:
r.mapcalc raster_map=reclass_map
where raster_map is the name to be given to the new raster map, and reclass_map is an existing reclass map."

That is not working. It should be the following expression
r.mapcalc raster_map=@reclass_map. That's the expression which is described in the r.mapcalc manpage.

Greetings Alex

No? What's wrong with it?

It should be the following expression

r.mapcalc raster_map=@reclass_map.

That's the expression which is described in the r.mapcalc manpage.

That is also valid, but different.

The first expression should simply convert a reclass map to a
non-reclass map. The second should replace category numbers with their
values (and is applicable to any map, not just reclass maps).
