<font face="monospace">Hi,<br>
<br>
I've been searching a tool like 'ALLOCATE'(Idrisi) </font><font
face="monospace">in GRASS</font><font face="monospace">, but I can't
find it. There is any kind of tool like that in GRASS? Which is the
best way to perform this kind of operation?<br>
<br>
Allocate in Idrisi:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">ALLOCATE performs spatial allocation based on a
distance or cost-distance image derived from DISTANCE, COST,<br>
VARCOST or DISPERSE. For example, if the distance surface were
calculated from a set of health centers, ALLO-<br>
CATE could be used to assign each cell to its nearest health center.
The final result of ALLOCATE would be an image<br>
with identifiers indicating to which health center each cell is
assigned. The result from ALLOCATE is identical to that of<br>
THIESSEN where simple Euclidean distance is used. However, if cost
distance is used, the result may be quite different.<br>

Thanks in advance!<br>
