They are raster if moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in ~/.r.li/output folder.<br> If input raster is not full of null values r.li.padrange returns a value >=0 that is PADcv. <br> If input raster is full of null values r.li.padrange returns -1. <br> If you want to have null values instead run <br> <div class="code"><pre> r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map </pre></div> after index calculation. <h2>REFERENCES</h2> McGarigal, K., and B.
