DESCRIPTION
v.in.region creates a new vector map from current region extent.
If the output of v.in.region is to be used for raster reprojection, the
-d flag should be used after setting the region to the raster map to be
reprojected with r.proj.
EXAMPLE
The example is based on the North Carolina sample data location. To
create a bounding box vector map based on a raster map, the computa-
tional region is first set to the raster map. Then a vector bounding
box is created based on the actual computational region (in this case
precisely reflecting the pixel geometry of the raster map), resulting
in a new vector polygon:
g.region raster=soils_Kfactor -p
v.in.region output=soils_Kfactor_bbox
v.info map=soils_Kfactor_bbox
