Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc)
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 6.0.0
I recently downloaded and installed the cygwin version of GRASS GIS. My primary objective is to generate hillshades. To do so I have been importing shapefiles with contour data and running v.surf.rst. The results have been OK but very segmented. Following the suggestion by Neteler and Mitasova in "Open Source GIS: A GRASS Approach", I attempted to generate random points to merge with the contour points and re-run v.surf.rst. Unfortunately, r.random seems to be generating points clustered at the top of the region. I have been unable to find a way around this in GRASS and have noticed only one or two mentions of the problem in the mailing list archives, but no suggested work-around.
Request: The randomness of r.random requires improvement/correction.
Cheers,
Paul A. Light
