[r.topidx]
creates topographic index, ln(a/tan(beta)), map from elevation map.

where
a: the area of the hillslope per unit contour length that drains
through any point

tan(beta): the local surface topographic slope
(delta vertical) / (delta horizontal)


Elevation map need not to be rectangular if study basin was already determined.
Non-interesting region may have NULL values. Study basin map can be taken
from r.water.outlet then the following r.mapcalc statements will create
study basin extracted elevation map.

r.mapcalc "belev = if(isnull(basin), basin, elev)"
