DESCRIPTION

       r.stats.zonal  is a tool to analyse exploratory statistics of a floating-point "cover layer" according to
       how it intersects with objects in a "base layer". A variety of standard statistical measures are possible
       (called "zonal statistics" in some GIS).

NOTES

       r.stats.zonal  is  intended to be a partial replacement for r.statistics, with support for floating-point
       cover maps at the expense of not supporting quantiles. For this, see r.stats.quantile.

EXAMPLE

       In this example, the raster polygon map zipcodes  in  the  North  Carolina  sample  dataset  is  used  to
       calculate zonal raster statistics using the elevation raster map:
       g.region raster=zipcodes -p
       # pixel count in zipcode areas
       r.stats.zonal base=zipcodes cover=elevation method=count output=zipcodes_elev_count
       r.colors zipcodes_elev_count color=gyr -g
       # average elevation in zipcode areas
       r.stats.zonal base=zipcodes cover=elevation method=average output=zipcodes_elev_avg
       r.colors zipcodes_elev_avg color=elevation -g
