r.param.scale

GRASS module that extracts terrain parameters from a DEM.
Uses a multi-scale approach by taking fitting quadratic
parameters to any size window (via least squares).

-------

Modified to include constrained fitting. 

Jo Wood, April, 1995 

-------

Modified to include weighting matrix and double precision arithmetic.

-------

Modified to include two separate tolerance values for feature detection.

-------
Still to do:
	Fix bug when `constrain through central cell' option selected.
	Create colour tables for all output files (presently only on features).

See also Java Code in 'LandSerf' that implements the same procedure
(http://www.geog.le.ac.uk/jwo/research/LandSerf).

Usage:
 r.param.scale [-c] in=name out=name [s_tol=value] [c_tol=value]
   [size=value] [param=name] [exp=value] [zscale=value]

Flags:
  -c   Constrain model through central window cell

Parameters:
      in   Raster surface layer to process
     out   Output raster layer containing morphometric parameter

           default: 1.0
   c_tol   Curvature tolerance that defines `planar' surface
           default: 1.0
    size   Size of processing window (odd number only)
           default: 3
   param   Morphometric parameter to calculate
           options: elev,slope,aspect,profc,planc,longc,crosc,minic,maxic,

           default: elev
     exp   Exponent for distance weighting (0.0-4.0)
           default: 0.0
  zscale   Vertical scaling factor
           default: 1.0
