[GRASSLIST:6200] RE: V.in.ogr and coor file bytes excess

[geir.systad at nina.no]

When importing shapefiles with areas in the graphical interface, it
hangs (even when the location is projected, and when both the shapefile
and the location is projected, it doesn't matter), and the new vector
file is incomplete. When submitting the same commands as developed in
the graphical interface, it works fine. 

v.in.ogr dsn=/cygdrive/c/xxx/periode1a.shp output=p1a min_area=0.0001
snap=-1

Then I have a problem with the graphical interface of v.in.ogr, both for
grass6.0.0Cygwin and grass6.1.cvsCygwin. Has any other seen this?

Subject: [GRASSLIST:6193] V.in.ogr and coor file bytes excess


Sorry for the last header, it was not an answere to the GRASSLIST:6191
message -

I use the graphical interface of Grass6.0.0 Cygwin stable (feb
something). 
I have tried to import shapefiles into grass, and get messages like
this:

v.in.ogr dsn=/cygdrive/c/xxx/periode1a.shp output=p1a min_area=0.0001
snap=-1 
PROJ_INFO file not found for location N50kart
PROJ_UNITS file not found for location N50kart
Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match.
Proceeding with import...
Layer: periode1a

Registering lines: 
238 primitives registered      
Building areas: 

238 areas built      
238 isles built
Attaching islands: 
Attaching centroids: 


When I try to present it on maps, only the boundaries of the areas show
up -

GRASS 6.0.0 (N50kart):~ > WARNING: coor files of vector 'p1a at PERMANENT'
is larger than it should be
         (33479 bytes excess).
WARNING: Cannot display areas, topology not available
WARNING: Cannot display topology, not available


When I use v.external, the map writes out afterwards without problems.
The number of primitives is different. 

v.external dsn=/cygdrive/c/xxx/periode1a.shp output=p1d layer=periode1a 
Building topology ...eature:     100   200 238
Topology was built.

Number of boundaries:   238
Number of centroids :   238
Number of areas     :   238
Number of isles     :   238


What is the problem with the coor file made by v.in.ogr? Can anyone
help? 

Sincerely, 
Geir
