I have a shapefile of polygons and some of the polygons are duplicated. I
thought I could use v.clean tool=rmdupl to get rid of these polygons. I use
v.in.ogr to read it in and I get the following:
WARNING: 8 areas represent more (overlapping) features, because polygons
overlap in input layer(s). Such areas are linked to more than 1
row in attribute table. The number of features for those areas is
stored as category in layer 2
That is correct in that there are 8 duplicate polygons but the only
different attribute is the cat which grass added? What am I missing? I
then tried v.clean tool=bpol,rmdupl and nothing changes it still has the 8
duplicates. What am I doing wrong?
I think that you need to add the break tool for v.clean.
Correct that was actually what I was using: v.clean tool=break,rmdupl
Looking closer I see that when I run v.clean it doesn't even report the
duplicates that v.in.ogr did but they are still there. The only thing
that differs in coordinates or attributes is the cat attribute that
grass added.
I am using grass 6.3.0 on fedora core 14 linux.
Please note that you can upgrade to grass-6.4.0-4.fc14:

Thanks I'll see if I can upgrade.
