NAME
v.out.dlg - Converts binary GRASS vector data to
DLG-3 Optional vector data format.
(GRASS Vector Data Export Program)
SYNOPSIS
v.out.dlg
v.out.dlg help
v.out.dlg
input=name
output=name
DESCRIPTION
The GRASS program v.out.dlg allows the user to
convert GRASS vector data to DLG-3 Optional format, for
export to other systems.
The user can run the program non-interactively by
specifying all program arguments on the command line, in
the form:
-
v.out.dlg input=name output=name
Parameters:
- input=name
- Name of the binary GRASS vector data file to be converted to DLG-3 format.
- output=name
- Name to be assigned to the DLG-3 Optional format output file created.
If the user does not give the names of an input and output
file on the command line, the program will prompt the user
to enter these names.
NOTES
The v.out.dlg program requires that the
input vector map layer have full topological
information associated with it. This means that the GRASS
program v.support
should have been the last program to have effected any
changes upon the vector map layer before it is run through
v.out.dlg. If this is not the case,
v.out.dlg will terminate with a message that
v.support needs
to be run.
The output from v.out.dlg will be placed in
$LOCATION/dlg.
