Some more info. My main platform is Win7 Pro, GRASS 6.4.0 standalone, Python 2.6.4. But I have tried other platforms with identical setup, with the following results: 1. All works well under Ubuntu 9.10. 2. But problem exists also in WinXP so it is not Win 7 specific, but it is Windows specific.

Thanks for your help Michael. Here is the status. Issued v.db.connect and all prints as expected by you and all vectors have a corresponding .dbf file. This is what I do. I have a mapset with 270 vectors. I open GRASS64 with wxpython GUI and select one vector in the middle, call it vect135. I

Thanks Michael but I don't think this is the problem in my case, I am using the default DBF database, no DB connections required. Also remember that it all works well when I use TclTk as the GUI, and all works well when the number of DBF files in the mapset is less than approx 188. I haven't been

The only culprit I could find so far is the number of vector or dbf files in the Location. If the number is greater than 188 then the wxPython GUI goes into an infinite loop. Reduce it to 188 and it works as it should. It does not matter which ones are the 188 files, as long as there are no more

You could use v.mkgrid to generate a grid. Then loop over all categories in this grid (v.categories) and use v.overlay to intersect. Thank you Markus, I had no problem in creating the grid with: v.mkgrid --overwrite map=grid_vect grid=20,20 box=1,1 (only struck a small bug in the

[GRASS-user] Splitting shapefile

2009-03-25 Thread georgew
Hi , I have a large vector shapefile I would like to split into many smaller tiles of equal size. Can somebody suggest a way to do this in GRASS 6.4 (either Windows or Linux). Also is it possible to use scripts (for batch processing) under the Windows version of GRASS? Many thanks George --
