Parameters:
- input=name [required]

r.li.cwed (contrast weighted edge density) calculates the
edge density between patch types specified: 
 
with:
-  k: attribute
-  m: number of non-null attributes in the sampling area
-  eik: total length of edge in
 landscape between patch types i and k
-  dik: dissimilarity (edge contrast
 weight) between patch types i and k
-  Area: total landscape area
The input file contains a row for each couple of patch type that we want to
consider in the calculation. Each row must be saved using this syntax:
patchType1,patchType2,dissimilarityBetweenPatchType1andPatchType2
Do not use absolute path names for the 
config and 
output
file/map parameters.
If the "moving window" method was selected in 
g.gui.rlisetup, then the
output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in
the folder 
C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\output\
(MS-Windows) or 
$HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
If the sample area contains only NULL values it is considered to
have 0 patch and CWED=0. If Area is 0 r.li.cwed returns -1.
This is only possible if the map is masked.
If you want to change these -1 values to NULL, run subsequently on the resulting map:
r.null setnull=-1 input=my_map
after index calculation.
To calculate the contrast weighted edge density index on map 
my_map, using
my_conf configuration file (previously defined with
g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in 
my_out, run:
r.li.cwed input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out \
          path=/path/to/weights.csv
Example for input "weights.csv" file:
12,16,0.65
44,123,0.32
56,12,0.54
23,66,0.99
