+Example to create contour lines from elevation model, then recreating DEM
+from these contour lines along with differences analysis (North Carolina
+sample data set):

+<div class="code"><pre>
+g.region rast=elevation -p
+
+# get minimum elevation value
+r.univar elevation
+

+# generate DEM from rasterized contour lines
+r.surf.contour input=contours_5m output=elevation_from_cont5m
