[GRASS-dev] easy way to load x, y (of centroid) and top, bottom, left, right coordinates to attribute table?

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

>I don't know which tool you used in QGIS, 

it's quite easy in QGIS, just open the attribute table for editing and type

x (centroid(  $geometry )) 
y (centroid(  $geometry ))

in the calculator for calculating the centroid coordinates.

ah yes, you're right.

v.centerpoint input=testcalculate output=testcalculate_center_of_gravity 

v.db.select map=testcalculate_center_of_gravity columns=x,y,x3,y3         
x|y|x3|y3
9.8489673562|47.0568937369|9.8489673562097|47.0568937369153
11.8802743895|46.9879350674|11.880274389498|46.9879350674375
9.7422504597|46.163754262|9.74225045972473|46.1637542620065

yes, GRASS' "center of gravity" (x3,y3) and QGIS centroids (x,y) are the
same. 

thanks
