|Hello,
|
|What's the best way to get external vector files into GRASS raster
|so that they can be overlayed?  I want to know the population inside
|of a polygon.  I'm starting with ascii counts by tract, the tract
|in TIGER boundaries,  and x,y(UTM) for the polygon.  How do you fill
|a polygon?  I can probably create the raster files in "C", but is 
|there a way using GRASS commands? 
|
|Thank you.
