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

       output=name [required]
           Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

       r.li.padsd calculates the standard deviation of patch area sizes in hectares as:
       with:

           •   MPS: mean patch area size

           •   ai: area of patch i

           •   Npatch: number of patches

       This index is calculated using a 4 neighbour algorithm, diagonal cells  are  ignored  when
       tracing a patch.

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\GRASS8\r.li\output\            (MS-Windows)             or
       $HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).

       The result is NULL if the sample area contains only NULL values.

EXAMPLES

       To calculate patch area distribution standard deviation 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.padsd 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.padsd input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_padsd_mov7
       r.univar forests_padsd_mov7

       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
       r.li.padsd input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_padsd_mov7
       # verify
       r.univar forests_padsd_mov7
       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
       d.mon wx0
       d.rast forests_padsd_mov7
       d.vect forests type=boundary
