how are you viewing the cats? where does that cut-short line come from?



I have just done a little test, and it seemed to write the cats file ok.
Both raw if you look in the $MAPSET/cats/$MAPNAME file and printed with r.category. Only issue I found was that the cats file was huge and things like r.info took a long time. As I used fake data I won't worry about that.

my test:

g.region n=4925010 s=4913700 w=589980 e=603000 res=30

for i in `seq 10` ; do
   r.surf.gauss out=surf.gauss_tmp_$i
   r.mapcalc "surf.gauss_$i = int( surf.gauss_tmp_$i )"
   g.remove surf.gauss_tmp_$i --quiet
done

r.cross input=`g.mlist rast pat=surf.gauss_* sep=,` output=surf.gauss.x
