Hi Maris,

Thanks, your suggestion worked. With the region's resolution set to
5m, I got some output.


Hi Maris:
Sorry for butting in on this, but I don't understand why the region resolution should make any difference to v.to.rast??
Would you mind to explain?
Thanks,
Micha

g.region vect=contours_20m

Also 20x20m cells wouldn't be too large?!?

Hi,

I'm working in GRASS 6.4.1 on Windows XP.

I want to use r.surf.contour to convert contour lines into a DEM.
However, I first need to convert my vector contour lines into raster
contour lines. My region is set to the contours_20m vector layer, with
a 20m resolution.

v.to.rast --overwrite input=contours_20m output=contours_20m use=attr
column=HEIGHT
Loading data...
Reading features...
Writing raster map...
Converted areas: 0 of 0
Converted points/lines: 1593 of 1593
v.to.rast complete.

r.info for the result is:
  | Layer:    contours_20m@CDNGI_DEM         Date: Mon May 02 14:18:00 2011

As you can see from the number of categories (0), there is no
information in this raster file.

Can someone perhaps help me figure out why this happens?

Thanks
Hanlie
