       rr..llee..ddiisstt  -  The  _r_._l_e_._d_i_s_t  program  can be used to measure distances
       between patches and report those distances using several methods.

   FFllaaggss::
       --bb     Run in background

       --nn     Output map 'num' with patch numbers.

       --tt     Use 4 neighbor tracing instead of 8 neighbor.

       --uu     Output maps 'units_x' with sampling units for each scale x.

       mmaapp    Raster map to be analyzed.

       ssaamm    Sampling	method	(choose  only 1 method): w=whole map, u=units,
	      m=moving window, r=regions Options: w, u, m, r Default: w

       rreegg    Name of regions map, only when sam = r; omit otherwise.

       sskkii    Skip m boundary cells  to  speed	up  nearest  neighbor  search.
	      Options: 0-10 Default: 0

       ccaann    Use  only  'can'	candidate  patches for faster nearest neighbor
	      search.  Options: 1-30 Default: 30

       ddii11    Distance methods (Choose only 1 method): Options:  m0,  m1,  m2,
	      m3,  m4,	m5,  m6,  m7,  m8, m9 (CC=Center-Center, EE=Edge-Edge,
	      CE=Center-Edge): m0 = each patch to all adjacent neighbors CC m1
	      =  each  patch  to  all adjacent neighbors CE m2 = each patch to
	      nearest patch of same gp CC m3 = each patch to nearest patch  of
	      same  gp	CE m4 = each patch to nearest patch of same gp EE m5 =
	      each patch to nearest patch of any diff. gp CC m6 =  each  patch
	      to  nearest  patch  of  any  diff. gp CE m7 = patches of 1 gp to
	      nearest of specific gp CC m8 = patches of 1  gp  to  nearest  of
	      specific gp CE m9 = patches of 1 gp to nearest of specific gp EE

       ddii22    Distance measures: Options: n1, n2, n3, n4, n5,  n6  n1  =  mean
	      dist.   n2 = st. dev. dist.  n3 = mean dist. by gp n4 = st. dev.
	      dist. by gp n5 = no. of dist. by dist. class n6 = no.  of  dist.
	      by dist. class by gp

       oouutt    Name  of	output file for individual patch measures, when sam=w,
	      u, r;  if out=head, then column headings will be printed
