[GRASS-user] grass-user Digest, Vol 96, Issue 17

[Patrick S.]

Thanks, Vaclav.

Will keep geomorphons in mind, but run 64 currently. I have pretty much 
the same experience here- almost no peaks. I thought that minor 
differences in the elevation might be the reason and rescaled. Also 
tested change in size but this did not have effects- rather less than 
more peaks, with rising size. But not a single area that covers "peak 
zones", as shown in the manual. I ended up to do the following:

r.neighbors in=elev out=elev.max meth=maximum size=9 --o
r.mapcalc << EOF
     elev.peak = if(elev.max==elev, 1, null())
EOF

This works pretty good and I have control on whats happening. Would be 
good to understand what r.param.scale does define as peak, though.
