Hi list,<br>
<br>
I'm beginning to learn and use the <a href="http://v.net" target="_blank">v.net</a> <<a href="http://v.net" target="_blank">http://v.net</a>> tools in Grass<span class=""><br>
in order to evaluate the distance from several crop fields to a<br>
processing plant.<br>
<br>
I've successfully build the road network with the end nodes but now I'm<br>
in doubt. My starting points in the analysis are crop fields, which are<br>
polygons. So what is the best (or most common) practice?<br>
<br>
1) Use the field centroids as starting nodes?<br>
2) Add field polygon boundaries to the network and run v.net.distance<br>
backwards (from mill to fields)?<br>
3) Some other option?<br>
</span></blockquote>

I don't think that there is a best practice for this. It all depends on your application and the desired outcome. Do you want average time/distance from anywhere in the field to the plant ? Then probably the centroid is ok. Or do you want distance from the point of the field that is closest to the network ? Then you could get the coordinates of that point through v.distance (with upload=to_x,to_y) and use these points as nodes.<br>
<br>

Also, if I'm to add the field boundaries to the network, how would I go<br>
about it? Should I first v.patch the field with the roads layer and then<br></span>
run <a href="http://v.net" target="_blank">v.net</a> <<a href="http://v.net" target="_blank">http://v.net</a>>?<br>

Adding field boundaries still does not answer the question of where to put the start/stop point of your paths...<br>
<br>
If you want to add them to the network then yes, patching would be the best option, AFAIK.<br>
