[GRASSLIST:4846] Re: close vector polylines

[DrakeGis]

Hi,

  IN GRASS 5.7
  I guess the automatic way to connect your lines is using v.clean setting
tools=snap, be aware with the thresold value.Also with v.digit you could
assign a Value to each polygons (I usually assign values to centrois).

  I'm not sure if all the features are working in the same way on older
GRASS versions. But if you are able to create the polygons then you
could export the file to a shapefile and edit the DBF file with (for
example) OpenOffice (using tools->Data source).

  regards.
