Thanks for answering!<br>
<br>
But aren't the d.* commands for visualization purposes ?<br>
Maybe I didn't succeed i posing my question!<br>
Lets take a concrete situation, maybe I will be more clear.<br>
Suppose you want to represent a pipe. I has a name (pipe1 p.e.), an orientation (take vertical, for example) and a<br>
location (its coordinates, for example). How do I represent that object
in grass? How do I represent the object pipe1, with vertical
orientation and location x,y ?<br>
I thougth it would be necessary to make some db files!If not, then when and where must I use them ? <br>
<br>
