CSV output option for r.report

[dylan]

It would be convenient to have the option of printing out long reports from r.report in CSV format. A simple flag option could be used to signal CSV output. It looks like modification from ​here would do the trick. Could be as simple as using a variable for the spacer, and adding a check for printing the '......' between columns.

just use r.stats, that's all r.report does & parses into the more dot matrix printer friendly format.

One thing that r.report does that r.stats does not do is to convert the units of measure.

So does r.stats fill the need, or do you need to convert units of measure?

Works for me.

While r.report sums up to 100%, r.stats approximates percents, thus the "total percent may not be 100%".

The question is: if r.report is a wrapper around r.stats, why aren't percentage outputs, for the same region and queried maps, identical?
