r.le.patch [-cnptu] map=string [sam=string] [reg=string] [att=string[,string,...]] [siz=string[,string,...]] [co1=integer] [co2=string[,string,...]] [sh1=string] [sh2=string[,string,...]] [bnd=string[,string,...]] [per=string[,string,...]] [out=string] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Output map 'interior' with patch cores (specify co1 & co2)
Output map 'num' with patch numbers
Include sampling area boundary as perimeter
Use 4 neighbor instead of 8 neighbor tracing
Output maps 'units_x' with sampling units for each scale x
Verbose module output
Quiet module output
Raster map to be analyzed
Sampling method (choose only 1 method):
w = whole map u = units m = moving window r = regions
Default: w
Name of regions map, only when sam = r; omit otherwise
a1 = mn. pixel att. a2 = s.d. pixel att.
a3 = mn. patch att. a4 = s.d. patch att. a5 = cover by gp a6 = density by gp a7 = total density a8 = eff. mesh number

Shape index (choose only 1 index):
m1 = per./area m2 = corr. per./area m3 = rel. circum. circle
Shape measures (required if sh1 was specified):
h1 = mn. patch shape h2 = s.d. patch shape h3 = mn. patch shape by gp h4 = s.d. patch shape by gp h5 = no. by shape class h6 = no. by shape class by gp
Options: h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6
n1 = mn. twist number n2 = s.d. twist number
n3 = mn. omega index n4 = s.d. omega index
Options: n1,n2,n3,n4
p1 = sum of perims. p4 = sum of perims. by gp
p2 = mn. per. p5 = mn. per. by gp p3 = s.d. per. p6 = s.d. per. by gp
Options: p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6
Name of output file for individual patch measures, when sam=w,u,r;
if out=head, then column headings will be printed
