r.mapcalc and NULL

[Michael Schulz]

Hello Agus !

There are two PS-Docs on the documentation page in Hannover, concerning 
map algebra with r.mapcalc. These do only cover the old NULL values, not 
the GRASS5 NULL and NO DATA values.

If you want r.mapcalc to create a raster map with only the NULL values of 
an existing map, the <if> statement in r.mapcalc gives you several 
options, how to be used (Right now, i do not know th eexactly syntax):

new_map = if (exist_map) : where exist_map not NULL, new_map gets 1

new_map = if (new_cat,exist_map) :  -- " --        , new_map gets new_cat

there are more options, i do not remember them by heart. If you want to 
use a logical not use the ^ sign (use this for your example: 
"new_map=if(^ exist_map)", this should work).

Hope this helps, Greetings

Michael
