NAME

v.out.moss - Converts GRASS site, line, or area data into MOSS import format.
(GRASS Vector Data Export Program)

SYNOPSIS

v.out.moss

DESCRIPTION

This program produces a MOSS import file containing GRASS site, line, or area features that have been converted into MOSS point, line, or polygon features, respectively. Only one type of data (site, line, or area) can be converted at a time. Site data can be extracted from GRASS site lists files or vector files, at the user's discretion. The resultant MOSS files will be created in the moss subdirectory of the current mapset.

The user will be prompted for the GRASS data type, the name of the site lists or vector file to be converted, and the name of the the MOSS import file to be created. If line data is being converted, the user will be asked whether area edges should be processed as lines. If so, the line features produced from the area edges will not have attributes associated with them.

Upon successful completion of the data export, the number of items converted will be printed, and the user will be given the option of processing another GRASS file.

NOTES

Vector data cannot be exported until the necessary GRASS support files have been built.

This program is interactive and requires no command line arguments.
