[GRASS-user] i.cluster not working in GRASS 7

[Ned Horning]

Nick and Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestions. I did manage to get it to run after playing 
with some of the variables. If I used the default values for "sample" 
and "min_size" it worked. Unfortunately the default values are less than 
ideal. I think the main problem is with the "sample" parameter. When I 
enter "sample=5,5" I assume that every fifth pixel from every fifth line 
is being sampled for use in calculating the cluster statistics. This is 
apparently too many samples for i.cluster to handle. If I use 
"sample=100,100" the program works as expected (more or less). I have a 
feeling that the sample array is not able to handle a large number of 
samples.

Thanks again,

Ned
