Anna has fixed the issue.
It has also been backported to the upcoming GRASS GIS 7.8.6.

 I might be biased, but the description is clear to me: provide the name of 
 a column that contains the values/quantities that will be used to 
 interpolate. If you do not provide a column name, cat will be used (i.e., 
 the IDs) in a 2D vector, or the z column in a 3D vector.

 It does not seek for another column, it defaults to cat if you do not 
 provide a column name where the variable you want to interpolate is. It 
 would be annoying, IMO, if I was forced to name a column `value` just 
 because a module only takes that name. Also, there might be many columns 
 with quantities/values in the attr table of a vector. How is the module 
 supposed to know which one to use, if the user does not provide a name?

> Perhaps this could be made more explicit in the manual page.

 Maybe the fact that value appears in the description and your column is 
 called value triggered the confusion?
 We really appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the wording to make 
 it clearer.

Vero is right, I tested it and it does work as the manual describes, using
the values of categories in your case.

[bringing the issue back to the list for reference]

Dear Luis,

Thanks for your feedback!

If you didn't provide a column name, and the module didn't fall back to the
cat column as it is supposed to, please report it as a bug (ideally with a
reproducible example). According to the manual and my very little
understanding of the c code, it should.

All the best,
Vero

2021-04-19 Thread Luí­s Moreira de Sousa via grass-user
Dear Anna,

thank you for the reply, indeed once I added the column parameter the module 
completed successfully. The manual includes the following on this parameter:

column=name
Name of attribute column with values to interpolate
If not given and input is 2D vector map then category values are used. If input 
is 3D vector
map then z-coordinates are used.

If I read that correctly, the module should pick up the "value" column by 
defualt. This particular layer was created by GRASS itself and includes a 
"value" column:

> v.info -c soil_map_rcl_no_water
Displaying column types/names for database connection of layer <1>:
INTEGER|cat
INTEGER|value
CHARACTER|label

It is now clear this is not the case, `v.surf.idw` is seeking another column by 
default, one that is not created by vector creating modules. Perhaps this could 
be made more explicit in the manual page.

Thank you.

could be because you haven't provided the attribute column. It should

[GRASS-user] Problems using v.surf.idw

2021-04-16 Thread Luí­s Moreira de Sousa via grass-user
Hi all,

I have been trying to use v.surf.idw the past few days without success.

The image attached is a screen capture from the Map Display. There is a category
raster (green regions) with a gap (lake Chad) that must be filled with the
nearest neighbour category. The strategy is to create a points vector from the 
raster
and then apply v.surf.idw with npoints=1.

If the density of points is too high (> 10 000) the module fails with the
message "Killed". With fewer points the module fails with the message
"ERROR: No points found". Below is a log with an example. I have
tried many different combinations of resolution and number of points, I also 
tried different mapsets, SQLite and Postgres back-ends, but the result is 
always the same.

What can be going wrong?

P.S.: there is previous thread with similar symptoms, but seems to have been a 
different issue: 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/v-surf-idw-Not-Working-td5457170.html

Thank you.
