NAME
v.to.points - Create points along input lines.
SYNOPSIS
v.to.points
v.to.points help
v.to.points [-vit] input=name [type=string[,string,...]] output=name [llayer=integer] [dmax=float]
Flags:
- -v
- Write line vertices.
- -i
- Interpolate points between line vertices.
- -t
- Do not create attribute table.
Parameters:
- input=name
- Input map containing lines
- type=string[,string,...]
- Type
- Options: point,line,boundary,centroid,area
- Default: point,line,boundary,centroid
- output=name
- Output map where points will be written
- llayer=integer
- Line layer
- Default: 1
- dmax=float
- Maximum distance between points in map units.
- Default: 100
DESCRIPTION
v.to.points creates points along input lines. It creates an output-dataset with 2 layers.
Layer 1 holdes information about the line-category and its attributes, layer 2 holds information about the length line-category and its segment-length starting from the 0 to this point.
NOTES
The dmax parameter is the maximum limit but not an exact
distance. To place points with exact distance from the beginning
of the vector line the user should use v.segment.
