Friends,
I did get an off-list solution (thanks Jiao) that works for two
rasters but not for n (using the implied else).
I think what GRASS needs is an r.update routine that works like an
SQL update statement, i.e.
r.update map=composite.map value=1 where="map a = 1"
r.update map=composite.map value=2 where="map b = 1"
etc
This would solve my immediate problem but also have general
utility. I can export the grids and do it in FORTRAN easily enough, but
I haven't cracked the GRASS API yet to actually make a GRASS function
out of it.
Maybe there already is such a thing?
Thanks, Dave
