Avg. Distance in Downhill Direction

[Howard Evan Canfield]

I sent this question about a week ago, and I realized after not hearing a
response, that perhaps I had not explained myself well.

What I mean by "convert" here is that I need a way to calculate the
dimensions of a rectangle of equal area as my original element.  The output
could be in the same form as something like r.volume - a text file giving
the average downhill length of each of my original elements.  In other
words, I do not need a raster display of rectangles, I need the results of a
calculation.

Once again, I would appreciate any thoughts on how I might do this.
