Hi List,

I have a vector layer of points. After I expand the points to areas
with:

v.buffer -t input=in output=out distance=500

some of the out areas overlap. I'd like to plot one area like this:

d.vect out where="cat == 2" fill_color=none

If border lines are not important, you could do the contrary:

d.vect out where="cat == 2" color=none

I can't seem to to use v.clean on the entire vector. Before plotting
one area I can extract it with v.extract and then v.clean with
tool=rmarea,

Just running v.extract -d is enough, no need for v.clean.

but this seems like an overly complicated approach, and
the original DB still has the issue.

We do not consider this an issue, but a feature ;-)

Is there another tool to clean
this up, or another way to generate the buffers around the points, to
avoid this issue?

No, AFAIK, the only two solutions you have are to either

1) loop over the points and call v.buffer on each one on its own
2) after creating all buffers at once, loop over the cat values and extract each buffer into a separate map using v.extract -d.

The big question is: besides the question of aesthetics in visualisation, do you have another reason why you wish to have each buffer (including overlapping ones) separate ?
