NAME
v.proj - Allows projection conversion of vector files.
SYNOPSIS
v.proj
v.proj help
v.proj [-sl] input=name
location=name [dbase=name]
[mapset=name] [out=name]
DESCRIPTION
allows a user to convert a vector map in a specified mapset of a specified
location (different from current) with projection of input location to
the vector map in a current mapset of current location with projection of
current location (both projections are defined by corresponding
PROJ_INFO files).
v.proj will create dig, dig_att, and
dig_cats directories in the output mapset, if they do NOT exist.
Map files for dig, dig_att, and dig_cats are also
created for the new map layer.
Flags:
- -s
- Automatically run "v.support" on newly created vector file.
- -l
- List vector files in input location and exit
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of the input vector map.
- location=name
- Name of the location containing input vector map
- dbase=name
- path to GRASS database of input location
- mapset=name
- Name of the mapset containing input vector map
- output=name
- Name of the output vector map.
If the user simply types v.proj without specifying parameter
values on the command line, the program will prompt the user to enter these.
NOTES
If out is not specified it is set to be the same as input map name.
If dbase is not specified it is assumed to be the current database.
If set is not specified, its name is assumed to be the same as the current
mapset's name.
v.proj supports general datum transformations, making use of the
PROJ.4 co-ordinate system translation library.
