v.in.shape will be run non-interactively if the
user specifies program arguments on the command line, using the form:
| v.in.shape input=name
[mapset=name]
[verbose=debug level] [logfile=name] [snapdist=snap distance] [sliver=min. angle] [scale=orig. scale] [attribute=attribute category] [label=category label] Alternately, the user can simply type: |
v.in.shape
on the command line without program arguments. In this
case, the user will be prompted for parameter values using the standard
GRASS user interface described in the manual entry for parser.
The import filter attempts to correct some common errors
that are frequently met with in shapefiles.
| input=name | Name of input shape file. Provide a full path name or the name of a file in the current directory. The .shp extension is required. | |
| mapset=name | For creating a new
mapset for the data imported. This may be usefull, since we cannot create
a projection info file and a default window in an existing mapset. When
a file is imported in the current mapset, you should take care that they
are in the same projection.
Unfortunately, you may run in trouble after that when using g.region (Cf BUGS). |
|
| verbose=debug
level
logfile=name |
Number between 0 (no
trace of what's happening) and 9 (very verbose log).
Name of file where log info will be written. By default log info are directed to stderr. |
snapdist=snap distance
| A grid resolution can
be defined within which adjacent vertices will snap.
Note:The vertices do not snap to the grid. All the vertices inside a grid cell snap to one of their number (usually the first). This value defaults to 0.001 ground units. In fact, it will never allow a value that is less. |
||
| sliver=minimum angle | ||
| A minimum angle can be defined for one link to subtend others at a given node. If the angle between two lines is less than this, they will be treated as colinear. This can be useful as the module now has features which attempt to correct some common topological errors that occur in the immediate vicinity of nodes. If you can be confident that true angles between adjacent arcs radiating from the same node cannot be less than a certain value, you can specify that value here, and some errors may be automatically corrected. This defaults to .01 degrees (specified in radians). In fact it will never allow a value that is less | ||
| scale=original scale | This sets an original
scale that will be specified in the header of the vector map file pro-
duced. It can be edited later with v.digit.
The value defaults to 1:2400 |
|
| attribute=a_name | Name of the attribute to use as the category number in dig_att. Give a value of list to see a list of available attributes. | |
| label=a_label | Name of the attribute
to use as the category label in dig_cats. Give a value of list to
see a
list of available attributes. |
