Different methods in GRASS GIS to compute the area of the categories. tags: raster, surface area, category layer
Boxplots are a great way to get a quick overview of the distribution of your data, to compare the distributions of different data sets, and to identify outliers in your dataset. They are easily created using tabular data as an input. In GRASS GIS for example, you can use the d.vect.colbp addon for that. But what about raster data as input? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to create raster based boxplots directly in GRASS?
