[GRASS-user] how to derive polygons from text strings

2021-12-18 Thread Uwe Fischer
Hello list,

I have a point feature layer with attributes for a text string (call it 
'label') and the fontsize in map units (which are meters in my case). Is there 
a way in Grass to derive polygons from this input information which enclose the 
label strings  when those are used to label the points? For those who know 
ArcMap: what I mean is exactly what happens when you save Annotations as Shapes 
in ArcCatalog: you get a polygon layer in which each text string has a polygon 
hull which fits the height and width, respectively.

best regards,

Uwe

To my knowledge these commands have openMP support so far:

r.proj
r.series.accumulate
r.sim.sediment
r.sim.water
r.sun
v.surf.rst

and several more are in the pipeline:

Would be nice to see r.contour to be the next candidate!

Alternative solution (say, an idea) for now:

- r.tile the data into chunks (perhaps with small overlap, not sure if
needed or useful)
- run r.contour on the tiles, in parallel (SLURM, gnu-parallel, something else)
- v.patch the resulting vector maps
- v.build.polylines to generate polylines from lines

Best,
Markus

and

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/main/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh#L189

for the configuration of the winGRASS builds.

kind regards
