NAME
v.out.e00 - Write an Arc-Info line/polygon coverage in e00 format
SYNOPSIS
v.out.e00
v.out.e00 help
v.out.e00 [-A] input=name
[mapset=name]
[output=name]
DESCRIPTION
The v.out.e00 program is designed to create an ESRI Arc/Info e00 ascii
file from a GRASS vector file.
v.out.e00 will be run non-interactively if the user specifies
program arguments on the command line, using the form:
v.out.e00 input=name [output=name]
Alternately, the user can simply type:
v.out.e00
on the command line without program arguments. In this case, the user
will be prompted for parameter values using the standard GRASS user interface
described in the manual entry for parser.
FEATURES
v.out.e00 attempts to create an Arc/Info export
file (.e00) for a line/polygon coverage. The attribut of
each GRASS line or area will be the Arc/Info coverage-ID.
If there is no attribute and the flag -A used, the
coverage-ID will be the same as the coverage-# (numbered
from 1 to the number of lines or areas).
OPTIONS
v.out.e00 requires the user to enter the following information:
Flags:
-A Output all areas (include unlabelled areas)
Parameters:
-
mapset=name
-
Mapset holding vector map to be exported (Default = current)
-
output=name
-
Name of output file. If no name is given, v.out.e00 will write on
the standard output.
When exporting area features, the -A flag specifies that all areas,
whether labelled or not, should be exported. This may result in
exporting area features that really represent "holes" in other area
features.
BUGS AND CAVEAT
Since e00 is NOT a public format, this program
is mainly based on analysis of existing files.
