Thank you for sharing this. I did not see your email when I wrote my reply with my solution. I need spatial variance in the result, not a single measure per-basin (that is, I want to be able to say "look out for results in this part of the basin, it is narrow, but don't worry elsewhere in this basin"). However, elsewhere on this project I need to know something about neighboring basins, and was looking into that. Your suggestion to read the v.to.db page led me to the "sides" option there, which I think solves that issue. Thank you! -k. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
