[GRASSLIST:5660] Re: Compare GRASS5 and GRASS6

[Michael Barton]

Ravi,

As far as I know, GRASS 5 doesn't have any raster to vector utilities that
are missing in GRASS 6. Which specific commands are you referring to?

The only command that I know of in GRASS 5 that changes raster to vector is
r.to.vect. This command is present in GRASS 6.

For contours, the only raster to vector command is r.contour. It is present
and enhanced in 6.0 (will accept floating point values).

Michael
