DESCRIPTION

       The r.rescale program rescales the range of category values appearing in a raster map layer. A new raster
       map layer, and an appropriate category file and color table based upon the original raster map layer, are
       generated with category labels that reflect the original category values  that  produced  each  category.
       This  command  is  useful for producing representations with a reduced number of categories from a raster
       map layer with a large range of category values (e.g., elevation).  Rescaled map layers  are  appropriate
       for use in such GRASS GIS commands as r.stats, r.report, and r.coin.

EXAMPLE

       To  rescale  an  elevation  raster map layer with category values ranging from 1090 meters to 1800 meters
       into the range 0-255, the following command line could be used (without  the  from  parameter,  the  full
       value range will be used):
       r.rescale input=elevation from=1090,1800 output=elevation.255 to=0,255

NOTES

       Category  values  that  fall  beyond  the input range will become NULL.  This allows the user to select a
       subset of the full category value range for rescaling if desired.  This also means that the  user  should
       know the category value range for the input raster map layer.  The user can request the r.rescale program
       to determine this range, or can obtain it using the r.describe or r.info command.  If the category  value
       range  is determined using r.rescale, the input raster map layer is examined, and the minimum and maximum
       non-NULL category values are selected as the input range.
