Martin,
I think using vectors and some scripting will be the way to go here.
A simple script should be something like this:
1. create a new polygon vector with v.edit
2. for each point in your points vector get the x and y coords (v.to.db or
maybe v.report)
3. calculate the vertices of your polygon based on the x and y coords.
4. Add new feature with v.edit
5. add vertices to feature with v.edit.
6. repeat for each point in points vector layer.
You can also use postgres/postgis functions and create the layer in postgis,
you won’t need a script but you have to learn some about postgis.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [GRASS-user] square buffeer
Hello,
I am looking for a way to create a square buffer for a point vector so
that
each point is in the end the centroid of a square with defined side
length.
I though about r.mapcalc statements to grow north-south and west-east and
then
somehow create an area from this square. But I have no idea how to do it
without a lot of hand-work.
Any idea how to achieve that? Or hints where to find relevant documents.
Martin
