[GRASSLIST:5725] v.sample vs. s.ample

[Dylan Beaudette]

Greetings!

i have used s.sample in GRASS 54 to take subsamples of raster data at 
predefined points of interest -- and it works perfectly!!

However, in GRASS60 v.sample seems to have some troublesome required 
parameters...

For example. I have a line, freshly digitized, but without any attribute data. 
I create points along this line with v.to.points. The resulting points have 
no attributes either. When trying to sample a raster along these points 
v.sample dies complaining about not being able to find a field (i think that 
it means "layer" and thus no attributes...). this is what i expected, as the 
input points vector has no attribute table.

Would it be possible to add a mode to v.sample, that would simply sample a 
rast at the points in question, similar to how s.sample operated?

I submitted a wish on the RT system as well.

Thanks!
