.SH NAME
\fI\fBv.type\fR\fR  \- Changes type of vector features.
.SH KEYWORDS
vector, geometry, editing, area, line, point
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBv.type\fR
.br
\fBv.type \-\-help\fR
.br
\fBv.type\fR \fBinput\fR=\fIname\fR  [\fBlayer\fR=\fIstring\fR]  \fBoutput\fR=\fIname\fR \fBfrom_type\fR=\fIstring\fR \fBto_type\fR=\fIstring\fR  [\-\-\fBoverwrite\fR]  [\-\-\fBhelp\fR]  [\-\-\fBverbose\fR]  [\-\-\fBquiet\fR]  [\-\-\fBui\fR]
.SS Flags:
.IP "\fB\-\-overwrite\fR" 4m
.br
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4m
.br
Print usage summary
.IP "\fB\-\-verbose\fR" 4m
.br
Verbose module output
.IP "\fB\-\-quiet\fR" 4m
.br
Quiet module output
.IP "\fB\-\-ui\fR" 4m
.br
Force launching GUI dialog
.SS Parameters:
.IP "\fBinput\fR=\fIname\fR \fB[required]\fR" 4m
.br
Name of input vector map
.br
Or data source for direct OGR access
.IP "\fBlayer\fR=\fIstring\fR" 4m
.br
Layer number or name (\(cq\-1\(cq for all layers)
.br
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
.br
Default: \fI\-1\fR
.IP "\fBoutput\fR=\fIname\fR \fB[required]\fR" 4m
.br
Name for output vector map
.IP "\fBfrom_type\fR=\fIstring\fR \fB[required]\fR" 4m
.br
Feature type to convert from
.br
Options: \fIpoint, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel\fR
.br
Default: \fIline\fR
.IP "\fBto_type\fR=\fIstring\fR \fB[required]\fR" 4m
.br
Feature type to convert to
.br
Options: \fIpoint, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel\fR
.br
Default: \fIboundary\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIv.type\fR changes the type of geometry primitives.
