[GRASSLIST:8476] r.le and multiple sessions

Hi All,

I want to use the GRASS 6.0 application that I have developed on a
computing cluster, which is now possible with the GRASS 6.0 multi-session
capability (whereas GRASS 5< did not have this capability).

The application involves a large number of simulations of a spatial
process from which metrics are calculated using the r.le program.
However, when I run r.le.patch (for example) under multi-sessions you get
a simultaneous overwriting of the r.le.out files, thus "stuffing up" the
data. Under GRASS 5 this was solved by the r.le.rename function. However,
it does not seem that r.le.rename exists for GRASS 6.

Using the "out" option on r.le.patch does not provide the output I am
interested in - I am looking for whole map summary statistics (although I
could construct one from the other).

Please advise.

Hi Roan.
I would not suggest you to spend much time on r.le. We did it, but the code is
old, unmaintained and difficult to improve. Efforts have been made by
Jachym Cepicky <jachym.cepicky@centrum.cz> to include fragstats into GRASS,
and I believe this could be a better approach. We still need some work to
have it running well, but I believe it is worth the while. Also Markus
Neteler seems to be interested on this.
I can send you details and source code, if you're interested.
All the best.
