<FONT FACE="Verdana">Hi All,<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to create a surface map from vector contour lines. The method I've been trying is v.surf.rst.<BR>
<BR>
I have v.surf.rst map8_contour.vect elev=elev10.rst, and I get the following result:<BR>
<BR>
Percent complete: Warning: strip exists with insufficient data<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The number of points from vector file is 124803<BR>
The number of points outside of region 0<BR>
The number of points being used is 124803<BR>
<BR>
Processing all selected output files <BR>
will require 64000016 bytes of disk space for temp files <BR>
<BR>
Percent complete: Warning: taking too long to find points for interpolation--please change the region to area where your points are. Continuing calculations...<BR>
G_ludcmp() failed! n=0<BR>
ERROR: Interp_segmets failed<BR>
<BR>
[2] Exit 1 v.surf.rst map8_contour.vect elev=elev10.rst<BR>
<BR>
I used v.patch to create map8_contour.vect from three vector files. I can see the lines in the monitor when I run d.vect.<BR>
<BR>
I also tried using v.to.rast then r.surf.contour. When I ran r.surf.contour, it stayed at 0% for over an hour before I stopped it. When I tried d.rast for the raster file I created with v.to.rast, it painted the monitor white. Then when I ran r.support, it said the file was empty.<BR>
<BR>
Can any one see what I am doing wrong?<BR>
