[GRASSLIST:4450] RE:Two questions: 1. r.param.scale; usage and etc... an error got into my last post!!

[Thomas Dewez]

Lars,

I have been messing around with r.param.scale just recently and found the
following. You can obtain more spatially extended classes if you play with
the curvature tolerance. In my case, lowering the default c_tol value to
0.001 improved the output image nicely. Is it meangingfull to do this ? I
don't know, I have not used those results yet hoping that somebody would
comment on them first. Perhaps Jo Wood would like to answer this.

I don't know for your second question
Hope this helps

Thomas
