NAME
       v.in.mapgen  - Imports Mapgen or Matlab-ASCII vector maps into GRASS.

KEYWORDS
       vector, import

SYNOPSIS
       v.in.mapgen
       v.in.mapgen --help
       v.in.mapgen  [-fz]  input=name  [output=name]   [--overwrite]  [--help]
       [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       -f
           Input map is in Matlab format

       -z
           Create a 3D vector points map from 3 column Matlab data

       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       input=name [required]
           Name of input file in Mapgen/Matlab format

       output=name
           Name for output vector map (omit for display to stdout)

DESCRIPTION
       v.in.mapgen allows the user to import Mapgen or Matlab vector maps into
       GRASS.

NOTES
       This module only imports data into vector lines.

       The  user can get coastline data in Mapgen or Matlab format from NOAA’s
       Coastline Extractor  at  http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/shore-
       lines.html.

       Matlab vector line maps are simply a series of "x y" data points. Lines
       are separated by a row containing NaN NaN.   Output  from  Matlab  with
       this command:
           save filename.txt arrayname -ASCII

       The  user can import 3D lines from Matlab by exporting a 3 column array
       and using the -z flag.
