v.type(1grass)

NAME
v.type - Changes type of vector features.

KEYWORDS
vector, geometry, editing, area, line, point

SYNOPSIS
v.type
v.type --help
v.type input=name [layer=string] output=name from_type=string to_type=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

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

from_type=string [required]
    Feature type to convert from
    Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel
    Default: line

to_type=string [required]
    Feature type to convert to
    Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, face, kernel
    Default: boundary

DESCRIPTION
v.type changes the type of geometry primitives.

EXAMPLES
Convert lines to area boundaries

v.type input=map_l output=map_b from_type=line to_type=boundary

In order to create areas, centroids must be added with v.centroids.

SEE ALSO
v.centroids, v.to.points
