[GRASS-user] v.net.iso - service area

[Richard Chirgwin]

David,

I'd just like to confirm the process ...

1. Obtain points you wish to use as the service area edge nodes (I will 
call this vector "Limit").
2. Run v.delaunay to create a vector that includes the outline 
(map=Delaunay).
3. Run v.net to connect Limit to Delaunay (map=Network)
4. Run v.net.salesman on Network to create the final service area map.

This seemed to work fine for me in Spearfish.

One question - I created the "point set" manually. But if have a network 
of lines, what's the best way to create a point vector from the line ends?
