NAME

       r.surf.gauss   -  GRASS module to produce a raster map layer of gaussian deviates whose mean and standard
       deviation can be expressed by the user. It uses a gaussian random number generator.

KEYWORDS

       raster, statistics

SYNOPSIS

       r.surf.gauss
       r.surf.gauss help
       r.surf.gauss output=name  [mean=float]   [sigma=float]   [--overwrite]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       output=name
           Name of the output random surface

       mean=float
           Distribution mean
           Default: 0.0

       sigma=float
           Standard deviation
           Default: 1.0

DESCRIPTION

       r.surf.gauss produces a raster map layer of Gaussian deviates whose mean and standard  deviation  can  be
       expressed  by  the  user.  It  uses  a  Gaussian  random  number  generator. It is essentialy the same as
       r.surf.random, but uses a Gaussian random number generator instead.

       Histogram of map generated with r.surf.gauss (mean=0, sigma=10)
