To redefine a map's category, type: r.reclass input=mapname output=re 1=2 end This will reclass everything to 0, and all 1's will become 2's. Then, type: r.mapcalc newlayer=re+0 (watch your region and mask settings !) You can then delete re And newlayer will have only a category of 2. Nancy :~) Lower MS Valley Division Vicksburg, MS 39180
