[GRASS-user] What is the meaning of output from i.cluster

[Michael Barton]

i.cluster produces a text output file that looks like this (for the landsat 2000 images from the nc_spm_08 demo data set).

[more for the other classes]

So what does this mean? There is no clear explanation of this in the manual, and there are no variable names in the output.

I am guessing that 

line 1 is possibly the number of pixels in the class
line 2 is the cluster mean within each original raster input file (landsat maps bands in this case)

The remaining lines are some kind of matrix. If a correlation matrix, I don't understand why the diagonal is not 1--or at least the biggest number for the relevant input maps.

Any explanation?
