/*thank you

/*I have never met  */starspan so far. I am looking at its home page and 
it will certain to be very useful.
I will work on it.

As I see, you are a soil scientist, so you will understand me better.

The logic of my question is based on finding slopes' length as landslide 
susceptibility parameter ( I accept slope is waterhed area).

Firstly, I used PostGis's extent function and got width and length of 
polygons (say watershed or  landslide as polygon). But this
polygon's longest dimension doesn't fit dimension in downslope 
direction, which is the slope length I am looking for. So, if I found 
max and min values of elevation of the polygons, I could calculate 
slopes' length.

/*v.rast.stats */gives max and min values of elevation of the polygons( 
/*v.rast.stats*/ has  still been running for most 20 hours).
maybe from these values I generate vector points containing min & max 
values .

I will appreciate if you supply your ideas and recommendations

regards
