v.parallel(1grass)          GRASS GIS User's Manual         v.parallel(1grass)

NAME
       v.parallel  - Creates parallel line to input vector lines.

KEYWORDS
       vector, geometry, buffer, line

SYNOPSIS
       v.parallel
       v.parallel --help
       v.parallel [-rb] input=name  [layer=string]  output=name distance=float
       [minordistance=float]   [angle=float]   side=string   [tolerance=float]
       [--overwrite]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       -r
           Make outside corners round

       -b
           Create buffer-like parallel lines

       --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 vector map
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       layer=string
           Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
           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.
           Default: -1

       output=name [required]
           Name for output vector map

       distance=float [required]
           Offset along major axis in map units
           Options: 0-100000000

       minordistance=float
           Offset along minor axis in map units
           Options: 0-100000000

       angle=float
           Angle of major axis in degrees
           Default: 0

       side=string [required]
           Side
           Options: left, right, both
           Default: right
           left: Parallel line is on the left
           right: Parallel line is on the right
           both: Parallel lines on both sides

       tolerance=float
           Tolerance of arc polylines in map units
           Options: 0-100000000

DESCRIPTION
       v.parallel  creates  parallel lines to the input vector lines which can
       be used as half-buffers.

NOTES
       Usage of -b flag will overrule the side parameter.

KNOWN ISSUES
       There is a problem with side-offset parallel line generation for inside
       corners.  To avoid this problem, the -b flag might be used.
