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
