NAME¶

v.in.lines - Import ASCII x,y[,z] coordinates as a series of lines.

KEYWORDS¶

vector, import

SYNOPSIS¶

v.in.lines v.in.lines help v.in.lines [-z] input=string output=string [ fs=character] [--overwrite] [-- verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:¶

-z

 

Create a 3D line from 3 column data

--overwrite

 

Allow output files to overwrite existing files

--verbose

 

Verbose module output

--quiet

 

Quiet module output

Parameters:¶

input=string

 

Name of input file (or "-" to read from stdin)

output=string

 

Name for output vector map

fs=character

 

Field separator

 

Default: |

DESCRIPTION¶

Imports a stream of ASCII x,y[,z] coordinates as a line or series of lines.

NOTES¶

Input ASCII coordinates are simply a series of "x y" data points. Lines are separated by a row containing "NaN NaN". The user can import 3D lines by providing 3 columns of data in the input stream and using the -z flag. This script is a simple wrapper around the v.in.mapgen module.

v.in.lines in=- out=two_lines fs=, <<EOF 167.846717,-46.516653 167.846663,-46.516645 167.846656,-46.516644 167.846649,-46.516644 167.846642,-46.516643 NaN,NaN 167.846520,-46.516457 167.846528,-46.516461 167.846537,-46.516464 167.846535,-46.516486 167.846544,-46.516489 167.846552,-46.516493 EOF v.category in=two_lines out=lines_with_cats option=add
