NAME

v.rast.stats - Calculates univariate statistics from a GRASS raster map based on vector objects

SYNOPSIS

v.rast.stats
v.rast.stats help
v.rast.stats [-c] vector=string [raster=string] colprefix=string

Flags:

-c
continue if upload column(s) already exist

Parameters:

vector=string
Name of vector polygon map
raster=string
Name of raster map to calculate statistics from
colprefix=string
column prefix for new attribute columns

DESCRIPTION

v.rast.stats - Calculates basic univariate statistics from a raster map only for the parts covered by the specified vector map. The vector map will be rasterized according to the raster map resolution. Then univariate statistics are calculated per vector category (cat) from the raster map and the results uploaded to the vector map attribute table. New columns are generated in the attribute table if not already present.

Six columns are generated (n, min, max, range, mean, stddev, variance, coeff_var, sum) according to the output of r.univar.

NOTES

Unless not specified, the script stops if a (prefixed) upload column is already present in the vector map attribute table.

If a MASK is present, it will be restored after the script finished. The scripts changes temporarily to the resolution of the given raster map.
