NAME

v.convert - Imports older versions of GRASS vectors.

SYNOPSIS

v.convert
v.convert help
v.convert input=string output=string [endian=string]

Parameters:

input=string
input vector map
output=string
Name of output vector
endian=string
endian of input vector map
Options: big,little
Default: big

DESCRIPTION

v.convert converts GRASS 5.0/5.3 vectors into 5.7 vectors.

NOTES

Vector maps from 5.0/5.3 and 5.7 do not interfere. They are stored in different directories, so you can use the same names.

If you need to convert back from 5.7 into the 5.0/5.3 vector format, use v.out.ogr (to SHAPE format) and then v.in.shape in the old GRASS program. Alternatively use "v.out.ascii -o" and v.in.ascii.

EXAMPLE

v.convert in=vectormap_from_50 out=vectormap_57
