r.li.shape calculates the landscape shape index as:
       LSI = 0.25 * E / sqrt(A)
       with:

           •   E: sum of all edges

           •   A: sum of all patch areas

       To  calculate  the  shape  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.shape input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

       Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
       r.li.shape input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_shape_mov7
       r.univar forests_shape_mov7

       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
       r.li.shape input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_shape_mov7
       # verify
       r.univar forests_shape_mov7
       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area

       d.rast forests_shape_mov7
       d.vect forests type=boundary

r.li.shape  - Calculates shape index on a raster map

       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 input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.shape returns NULL.
