 Replying to [comment:2 marisn]:

 region is set correctly.

 I'm going to go back and retest this, I'm sure when I first tested it I
 had run g.region first..

 region.

 That r.in.poly, r.in.xyz, and v.to.rast do not set region for you is not a
 bug. These modules ''create'' raster maps not ''import'' existing arrays.
 There is no good way to decide on what the resolution should be, and
 how/if to align the grid to the bounding box. These are decisions the user
 must make for themselves and are a critical, and very useful, fundamental
 feature of the workflow.

 That should give a warning, as should "No features found in current
 region" (ala d.vect). I think to make that "nothing found" warning a
 G_message() though, so you can shut it up with --quiet. (fixed region may
 be what you want)


 cheers,
