           Print usage summary

       --verbose

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       input=name [required]
           Name of input raster map

       config=name [required]
           Configuration file

       output=name [required]
           Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

       r.li.richness calculates the "richness diversity index" as:
       with:

           •   m: number of different patch types

NOTES

       Do  not  use  absolute  path names for the config and output file/map parameters.  If the "moving window"
       method was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will
       be   generated   in   the   folder  C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\  (MS-Windows)  or
       $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).

       If the input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.richness returns 0.

EXAMPLES

       To calculate the richness diversity index on map my_map, using  my_conf  configuration  file  (previously
       defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in my_out, run:
       r.li.richness input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

       Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
       r.li.richness input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_richness_mov7
       r.univar forests_richness_mov7

       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
       r.li.richness input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_richness_mov7
       # verify
       r.univar forests_richness_mov7
       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
       d.mon wx0
       d.rast forests_richness_mov7
       d.vect forests type=boundary
