## DESCRIPTION

r.li.mps (mean patch size) calculates the mean size of the patches in the sampling area as:
with:

- A:sampling area size without null cells
- Npatch: number of patches

## EXAMPLES

To calculate mean path size index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file and saving results in my_out file run:

    r.li.mps map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

## NOTES

Do not use absolute path names for output files. They are raster if moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in ~/.r.li/output folder.
If input raster is full of null values r.li.mps returns 0.
If you want to have null values instead run

    r.null setnull=0 map=my_map

after index calculation.
