[GRASSLIST:4676] Re: gshhs

[Ian MacMillan]

Hi all, thanks for the suggestions.
Unfortunately I can't quite get any of them to work.  I tried to remove 
the dig_atts file then running v.convert and let it run for half an 
hour without ever reaching 2% finished.  Next thing I tried was to 
export the gshhs file from 5.3 as a shape file.  I am not quite clear 
how I get the labels (from the dig_cats) file to be part of that shape 
file.  The command I used was:
v.out.shape type=line map=gshhs_l
The resulting shape file has all the geometry, but no labels associated 
with the lines when I import it back into 5.7
I also tried to import the shape file from NOAA, but it does not 
contain the labels layer.

I am sure there is a way to do this.  I am figuring I need to figure 
out how to export a shape file with the dig_cats file information 
attached to it somehow, OR I need to just turn a dig_cats file into a 
database after importing the geometry with v.in.ascii.

Thanks,
Ian
