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

NAME
       v.to.lines  - Converts vector polygons or points to lines.

KEYWORDS
       vector, geometry, area, line, point

SYNOPSIS
       v.to.lines
       v.to.lines --help
       v.to.lines   input=name  output=name   [method=string]    [--overwrite]
       [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       --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

       output=name [required]
           Name for output vector map

       method=string
           Method used for point interpolation
           Options: delaunay
           Default: delaunay

DESCRIPTION
       v.to.lines converts vector polygons (boundaries) to lines  as  well  as
       vector points to lines via triangulations.

NOTES
       v.to.lines  is able to convert point data (via triangulation) and areas
       to lines (via boundary to line conversion).  This script is  a  wrapper
       script to v.category, v.delaunay, and v.edit.

       In  order  to  convert an ordered list of coordinates (ASCII table with
       x,y[,z] coordinates) into vector lines, use v.in.lines.

EXAMPLES
       The examples are for the North Carolina sample dataset location:

   Area to line conversion
       v.to.lines input=boundary_municp output=boundary_municp_lines

   Point to line conversion
       v.to.lines input=geodetic_pts output=geodetic_pts_lines
