    Friends,

         After some alternative approaches to a simple problem of
    compositing rasters (see previous posts, esp. compositing rasters @9:32)
    I developed a very crude function to update rasters

    r.update target mask x y

    updates raster target by substituting y everywhere that raster mask
    has x.  A more GRASS-like syntax would be

    r.update target=string mask=string current=integer replace=integer


I'm not sure if I don't miss anything but why don't you use r.mapcalc
expression like this:

new = if(mask == x, y, target)

and then

g.rename new,target --overwrite

well probably because I'm not too bright. Obviously your elegant solution would allow multiple sequential updates just the way I needed as long as I do the rename --overwrite very time. I knew there had to e GRASS way to do this, I just hadn't figured it out yet.

Thanks!

Anna


    but my bash skills are pretty limited and I elected (for the time
    being) not to parse the arguments that way.  The current function
    relies on a short bash script and a FORTRAN executable.  The crude
    part is exporting both the target an mask rasters as ascii exports,
    creating a new ascii file, and doing an r.in.ascii to bring the
    updated raster back in.  It only works (at present) for integer
    rasters, but it's intended for thematic maps, so that seems OK.

    r.update.sh <http://r.update.sh> just below.

    r.out.ascii inp=$1 out=$1.asc null=-1
    r.out.ascii inp=$2 out=$2.asc null=-1
    g.remove rast=$1
    r_update $1.asc $2.asc $3 $4
    r.in.ascii  inp=tmp.file out=$1 nv=-1
    rm $1.asc
    rm $2.asc
    rm tmp.file

    You have to "alias r_update 'sh r_update.sh'" or name the script
    r.update and chmod +x r.update to make it run as shown.

    The FORTRAN code for r_update is at

    ecology.msu.montana.edu/GRASS/__r_update.f90
    <http://ecology.msu.montana.edu/GRASS/r_update.f90>

    The code compiles with gfortran.  The executable must be in your
    path, or you can modify the bash script with a full path to it.

         It is my sincere hope that someone with GRASS chops will write
    a function for g.extension that uses the API and avoids all this
    ascii input and output, but this serves as a demo and useful (if
    clumsy) approach in the meantime.
