r.surf.random(1grass) GRASS GIS User's Manual r.surf.random(1grass)
NAME
r.surf.random - Produces a raster surface map of uniform random devi-
ates with defined range.
KEYWORDS
raster, surface, random
SYNOPSIS
r.surf.random
r.surf.random --help
r.surf.random [-i] output=name [min=integer] [max=integer]
[--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
-i
Create an integer raster map
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
output=name [required]
Name for output raster map
min=integer
Minimum random value
Default: 0
max=integer
Maximum random value
Default: 100
DESCRIPTION
r.surf.random produces a raster map layer of uniform random deviates
whose range can be expressed by the user. It is essentially the same as
r.surf.gauss, but uses a linear random number generator instead. It
uses the random number generator drand48() or rand(), depending on the
user’s platform.
EXAMPLE
g.region -p n=228500 s=215000 w=630000 e=645000 res=10
r.surf.random out=random min=0 max=100
# check result
r.univar random

With the histogram tool the cell values versus count can be shown.
