Dear List, I am having problems exporting a vector out as a shapefile with polygons. I seem to get only lines.
If I run v.info on my vector I get the following. Which states I have areas and centroids. Type of Map: Vector (level: 2) | | | | Number of points: 0 Number of areas: 3588 | | Number of lines: 0 Number of islands: 1 | | Number of boundaries: 14632 Number of faces: 0 | | Number of centroids: 3588 Number of kernels: 0 | | | | Map is 3D: 0 | | Number of dblinks: 1 | | | | Projection: UTM (zone 0) | | N: 5920000.000 S: 5828000.000 | | E: 452000.000 W: 296000.000 | | B: 0.000 T: 0.000 | | | | Digitize threshold: 0.00000 If I run the following command v.out.ogr -p input=grid_small type=area dsn=grid_small layer=1 format=ESRI_Shapefile and then run the following ogrinfo grid_small.shp grid_small I get only linestring and no polygons OGRFeature(grid_small):13540 cat (Real) = (null) row (Real) = (null) col (Real) = (null) LINESTRING (406000 5852000 0,406000 5854000 0) when i import it into arcvie 3.x i only get a polyline shapefile. Any help on how to construct a polygon shapefile would be greatly appreciated. regards Andrew _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list grassuser@grass.itc.it http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
