I have a shapefile of polygons and some of the polygons are
duplicated. I thought I could use v.clean tool=rmdupl to get rid of
these polygons. I use v.in.ogr to read it in and I get the following:<br>
<br>
WARNING: 8 areas represent more (overlapping) features, because polygons<br>
overlap in input layer(s). Such areas are linked to more than 1<br>
row in attribute table. The number of features for those areas
is<br>
stored as category in layer 2<br>
<br>
That is correct in that there are 8 duplicate polygons but the only
different attribute is the cat which grass added? What am I missing?
I then tried v.clean tool=bpol,rmdupl and nothing changes it still has
the 8 duplicates. What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>
I am using grass 6.3.0 on fedora core 14 linux.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
