For the centroid coordinates:

just tried with some vectors in a wgs84 ll location:

x and y are the centroid coordinates calculated by QGIS
x2 and y2 are the centroi coordinates calculated by v.to.db
and the last (identical to x2 and y2) reported by v.report

it's interesting that QGIS and GRASS calculates differnt centroid
coordinates.

any idea?

I don't know which tool you used in QGIS, but GRASS' centroids are not guaranteed to be the geometrical centroid (aka "center of gravity" which could sometimes fall outside the polygon). You might want to compare the results of QGIS with those of the addon v.centerpoint.



For the bounding box coordinates, I don't know any easy way. Would be a
nice thing to have in v.to.db (see [1]).

yes indeed, would be a nice addition to v.to.db. updated the ticket.

taken from a little script coded some time ago:

    ######
    # print bbox of vector layer geometries
    ######
    if print_bbox_vector_geometries :
                # open vector
                vtopo = VectorTopo(vector)
                vtopo.open(mode = 'r')
                # loop thru vector geometries           
                for i in range(1, vcats_max_plus):
                                # get vector geometries area info
                                vect_geom_area = Area(v_id = i, c_mapinfo = 
vtopo.c_mapinfo)
                                # get vector geometries bbox info               
                
                                vect_geom_bb = vect_geom_area.bbox()
                                # bbox north, south, west, east
                                bb_north = vect_geom_bb.north
                                bb_south = vect_geom_bb.south
                                bb_west = vect_geom_bb.west
                                bb_east = vect_geom_bb.east
                                grass.message("cat %s: north: %s south: %s west: %s 
east: %s" %(i,
bb_north, bb_south, bb_west, bb_east))
                # close vector
vtopo.close()

so it's already in the vector data available, would be nice to have it in
v.to.db.

Yes, there's Vect_get_area_box in the Vlib (box.c), so it shouldn't be too hard to integrate it.
