[GRASS-user] Measuring Distance Along a Line

[Maris Nartiss]

Hello,
if You are interested to get similar functionality like r.profile does
for raster, there's a GRASS add-on v.profile, that allows to profile
vector point and line maps. Area support is not implemented.

Input for v.profile should be a map with a single transect line (or
single line should be selected with SQL)  or Northing, Easting value
list representing line and a map with points/lines. Module output will
be a list of feature (point within specified tolerance, line crossing)
distance from the start of profile line + feature attribute data.

If You need some help, let me know.

Maris.
