## NAME

r.quant - This routine produces the quantization file for a floating-point map.

## KEYWORDS

raster

## SYNOPSIS

r.quant
r.quant help
r.quant [-tr] [basemap=string] input=string[,string,...] fprange=dmin,dmax range=min,max

### Flags:

-t
  Truncate floating point data
-r
  Round floating point data

### Parameters:

basemap=string
  Base map to take quant rules from
  Default: NONE
input=string[,string,...]
  Raster map(s) to be quantized
fprange=dmin,dmax
  Floating point range: dmin,dmax
  Default:
range=min,max
  Integer range: min,max
  Default: 1,255

## DESCRIPTION

r.quant produces the quantization file for a floating-point map.

The map parameter defines the map for which the rules be to be created. If more than one map is specified, then this implies that the floating-point range is the miniumum and maximum of all the maps together, unless either basemap=map or fprange=min,max is specified.

## Quant rules

The quant rules have to be entered interactively.

If rules is specified, the input has the form:

value1:value2:cat1:[cat2]

where value1 and value2 are floating point values and cat1 cand cat2 are integers. If cat2 is missing, it is taken to be equal to cat1. All values can be "*" which means infinity.

## NOTE

It is an error for both basemap and fprange to be specified.
