 If the <b>type</b> parameter is set to <b>centroid</b> and
 the <b>option</b> parameter set to <b>add</b>, new categories will be
 added to existing centroids. Note however, that new centroids cannot
 be created this way.  To do so, they must be added manually
 using <em><a href="v.digit.html">v.digit</a></em> or by
