DESCRIPTION

v.net.iso splits net to bands between cost isolines (direction from centre). Centre node must be opened (costs >= 0). Costs of centre node are used in calculation. Supported are cost assignments for both arcs and nodes, and also different in both directions of a vector line. For areas cost will be calculated along boundary lines.

NOTES

Nodes must be on the isolines.

Center nodes have to be assigned to vector nodes. Nodes and arcs can be closed using cost = -1.

EXAMPLE

Subdivision of a network into areas:
The map must contain at least one center (point) on the vector network which can be patched into with v.patch. 
# Spearfish

# start node:
echo "591280.5|4926396.0|1" | v.in.ascii out=startnode
g.copy vect=roads,myroads

#connect point to network
v.net myroads points=startnode out=myroads_net op=connect thresh=200

g.region vect=myroads_net
d.mon x0
d.vect myroads_net
d.vect myroads_net col=red icon=basic/triangle fcol=green size=12 layer=2
v.category myroads_net layer=2 op=print

# specify range of center cats (easier to catch all):
v.net.iso input=myroads_net output=myroads_net_iso ccats=1-100000 costs=1000,2000,5000
v.category myroads_net_iso option=report
# ... reports 4 categories:
The network is 4 categories: 
cat | distance from point
1          0 - 1000
2       1000 - 2000
3       2000 - 5000
4            > 5000
To see the result, run for example: 
g.region n=4928200 s=4922300 w=589200 e=596500
d.erase
d.vect myroads_net_iso
d.vect myroads_net_iso col=blue   cats=1
d.vect myroads_net_iso col=green  cats=2
d.vect myroads_net_iso col=orange cats=3
d.vect myroads_net_iso col=magenta  cats=4
d.vect myroads_net col=red icon=basic/triangle fcol=green size=12 layer=2
