 Hi,[[BR]]

 r.li.shannon (and consequently r.li.pielou) returns the wrong output when
 "Whole Maplayer / Select areas from the overlayed vector map" option is
 used to build the configuration file. I attached the example that I used
 to replicate the error (with r.li.shannon).

 '''example.ascii''' Simulated Landcover map.[[BR]]

 '''example_vect''' Polygon used to calculate the index.[[BR]]

 '''conf''' r.li.setup configuration file built using "Selet areas from the
 overlayed vector map" option. (Wrong shannon index).[[BR]]

 '''conf_whole_whole''' r.li.setup configuration file built using "Whole
 Maplayer / Whole Maplayer" option. (Correct Shannon index).[[BR]]


 Formula to calculate the correct Shannon index for the example landscape
 (paste it in R):

 ''-(((10/16)*log(10/16))+((2/16)*log(2/16))+((1/16)*log(1/16))+((3/16)*log(3/16)))''
