 Correct?
 
   There's nothing on the man page about this. Perhaps
 a sentence could be
 added.


please run an experiment after creating a pseudo surface with
r.surf.volcano (wiki addons) using the gaussian method, and report
back to us. Then we can add the confirmed answer to the help page.

suggestions for pseudo DEM:  (after r.sun wiki page)
  r.surf.volcano out=gauss method=gaussian kurtosis=1

yes - convex is positive and concave is negative. It is the same as in 
v.surf.rst.


  Thank you both.
