[GRASS-user] Problems using v.surf.idw

[Luí­s Moreira de Sousa]

Dear Anna,

thank you for the reply, indeed once I added the column parameter the module completed successfully. The manual includes the following on this parameter:

column=name
Name of attribute column with values to interpolate
If not given and input is 2D vector map then category values are used. If input is 3D vector
map then z-coordinates are used.

If I read that correctly, the module should pick up the "value" column by defualt. This particular layer was created by GRASS itself and includes a "value" column:

> v.info -c soil_map_rcl_no_water
Displaying column types/names for database connection of layer <1>:
INTEGER|cat
INTEGER|value
CHARACTER|label

It is now clear this is not the case, `v.surf.idw` is seeking another column by default, one that is not created by vector creating modules. Perhaps this could be made more explicit in the manual page.

Thank you.
