Synopsis
v.type
v.type --help
v.type input=name [layer=string] output=name from_type=string to_type=string [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags
- --overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --help
Print usage summary
- --verbose
Verbose module output
- --quiet
Quiet module output
- --ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters
- input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access- layer=string
Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: -1- output=name [required]
Name for output vector map
- from_type=string [required]
Feature type to convert from
Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel
Default: line- to_type=string [required]
Feature type to convert to
Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel
Default: boundary
Description
v.type changes the type of geometry primitives.
Examples
Convert lines to area boundaries
v.type input=map_l output=map_b from_type=line to_type=boundary
In order to create areas, centroids must be added with v.centroids.
