NAME
v.to.sites - Converts point data in a binary GRASS vector map layer into
a GRASS site_lists file.
(GRASS Vector Program)
SYNOPSIS
v.to.sites
v.to.sites help
v.to.sites input=name output=name
DESCRIPTION
The v.to.sites program extracts site data from a
GRASS vector map layer and stores output in a new GRASS
site_lists file. The resulting sites map layer
can be used with such programs as
d.sites.
Only site (point) features in the named vector map layer
are extracted and placed into the resulting site list.
Lines and areas in the vector file are ignored.
OPTIONS
The user can run the program non-interactively by
specifying the names of an existing vector input
map layer and a new site list file to be output on
the command line. The program will be run interactively if
the user types v.to.sites without arguments on the
command line. In this case, the user will be prompted to
enter parameter values through the standard user interface
described in the manual entry for
parser.
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of an existing binary vector map layer from which
site data are to be extracted.
- output=name
- Name to be assigned to the resultant site_lists file.
If any of the sites have been labeled in
v.digit
then the resultant site list will contain category
information. If none of the sites are labeled, a binary
(0/1) site list file will be produced.
