[GRASS-user] Re: GRASS-user] how to report/measure a vector area?

[Shane Litherland]

Hi all,

yes,yesYES thank you for your inputs :-)
it was a simple case of me not having a table with the info in to start
with, so once i remedied that with v.to.db (hello old friend, where have
you been hiding?) reports and map queries were a breeze, as well as easy
calculations directly on the table in sql (in pgadmin) to answer the
number-crunching I desired.

A happy chappy :-)

and although I noted a coupla odd things in the digitiser (which I'm
still to check in north carolina dataset and give feedback on) i managed
to NOT do any bad combination of mouse-clicks and ruin the vector in
question ;-) soon i'll earn the badge of guru-beginner ;-)

-shane.
