[GRASS-user] v.to.rast with text column

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi,

v.to.rast is letting me know that it does not accept text columns in an 
attribute table. Has anyone figured out a simple approach to making this 
work? I suppose that I could import the data into R, convert to factors, save 
the levels back to the table and use those... but there may be something out 
there that is simpler and can be done within GRASS. Also, would this be 
something worth adding to the v.to.rast code?

Cheers,
Dylan
