[GRASS-user] Measuring Stream Lengths

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi Rich,

Where did these data come from? It sounds like they were generated
outside of GRASS. Can you describe the structure of this 'streams'
dataset, and possibly how it was made?

In order for v.to.db to function properly, you are going to need:

1. segments with cat numbers, see v.category
2. an attribute table attached to this vector
3. stream names (?) populated in one of the columns, possibly with
v.digit, or v.what
4. create a new column for the segment lengths
5. populate this column, v.to.db
