DESCRIPTION
v.what.vect is used to transfer vector attributes from a query vector
map into a vector point map at the point positions. The script is based on
v.distance.
NOTES
The upload column into which the query results are stored must be present
in the vector point map or added with v.db.addcol.
This module only uploads attributes which exist at the exact positions of
the input points. For a "nearest feature" fit use v.distance
EXAMPLE
In this example, the 'archsites' point map in the Spearfish location is copied
to the current mapset, a new attribute column is added and the owner
names from the 'fields' polygon map are transferred to the 'myarchsites'
map at point positions:
g.copy vect=archsites,myarchsites
v.db.addcol myarchsites col="owner varchar(25)"
v.what.vect myarchsites qvect=fields column=owner qcolumn=label
# verification:
v.db.select myarchsites
