[GRASS-user] raster analysis: how to get summarized values of> two rasters

[Michael Barton]

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do.

If you want a new map in which each cell is the sum of the values in the 2
original maps (DEM and buildings), you just add them in the map calculator

R.mapcalc newmap=DEM+buildings

If you want a map that is colored to reflect varying combinations of DEM and
buildings, use d.his with buildings for the I (intensity) and DEM for the H
(hue) entries. 

d.his h_map=buildings i_map=DEM.

Raster maps can have only 1 cat and 1 label, so you can't have a raster that
has multiple fields like a vector map can.
