<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<em>r.buffer.lowmem</em> creates a new raster map showing buffer
(a.k.a. "distance" or "proximity") zones around all cells that contain
non-NULL category values in an existing raster map. The distances of
buffer zones from cells with non-zero category values are user-chosen.
<p>
This is the low-memory alternative to the
classic <em><a href="r.buffer.html">r.buffer</a></em> module. It is
much slower than the classic version, but will run on massive raster
maps without using a lot of RAM. If your raster map is larger than
32000x32000 cells on a system with 1 GB of RAM, or larger than
90000x90000 cells on a system with 8 GB of RAM, consider using this
module.
<p>
For more info see manual of <em><a href="r.buffer.html">r.buffer</a></em>.
<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
In the following example, the buffer zones would be (in the default units
of meters): 0-100, 101-200, 201-300, 301-400 and 401-500.
<div class="code"><pre>
r.buffer.lowmem input=roads output=roads.buf distances=100,200,300,400,500
</pre></div>
Result:
<div class="code"><pre>
r.category input=roads.buf
1 distances calculated from these locations
2 0-100 meters
3 100-200 meters
4 200-300 meters
5 300-400 meters
6 400-500 meters
</pre></div>
