Outputs
After LSMetrics runs, you will see in your screen the following message, with a sound:
By default, LSMetrics outputs are raster maps in ".tiff" format. We will use the palette "byr" from r.colors for coloring our diversity rasters. For practical reasons, we are using different points near the state forest region of FEENA to show their values for each metrics via Query results in GRASS GIS display. If you want to visualize the values of each metric for a same spatial point, you can use r.what in the command line of GRASS GIS:
r.what map=SP_RioClaro_use_raster_diversity_1000m_pielou_size_33@PERMANENT coordinates=241349.630457,7517527.94463
If you choose all metrics, you will see them in the output file you´ve chosen before.
Next, we are going to briefly present a layout of each landscape metrics outputs, together with their sufix file names and query results in printscreens of GRASS GIS displays.
Take a look on the 27 output suffixes of file names for our example data:
