This is not how you write a problem statement and explain why your patches
exist.
You need to state:
1. What are you trying to do
2. What is the expected outcome and why
3. What actually happens and why
4. The fix, in your opinion, should be X or Y
Not quote some ras tools commands. Show me that you actually know what you're
doing and explain the problem in human understandable way. And then we can
talk fixes.
Thx.
