<TITLE>Request to add a GCP file in vector directories</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I’m integrating vector georectification (v.transform) into the GIS Manager georectifier. It would be nice if a GCP file could be saved in a vector folder so that it could be called up, edited, and reused and a user doesn’t have to re-enter GCP’s every time they start the georectifier. This is the case now for rasters, because a GCP file (POINTS) is saved inside the group folder for a raster group.<BR>
<BR>
I’m proposing to have the georectifier (at the user’s option) save a file named “gcp” (points might be confusing in a vector folder) in the appropriate vector folder to be rectified. It would be a simple ascii text file and take the format of the standard file needed by v.transform, with the addition of a header indicating the target location and mapset it is aimed at. For example...<BR>

# target: /Users/shared/grassdata/spearfish60/newvector<BR>

580 585 598020 4920770<BR>
580 -600 598020 4920750<BR>
-584 -600 598000 4920750<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone foresee a problem with this?<BR>
