[GRASS-user] Attribute transfer from one table to another based on position of vector items

[Michael Perdue]

I have a similar goal, but the solution in the case below will not work for me.

I have three points A,B & C that I have linked together through Delaunay triangulation;

       A
       /\
      /  \
     /    \
    /      \
   /        \
  /          \
 /____________\
B              C

I want to create a new attribute for each point that is the average of the length of all the lines attaching each point to it's neighbours.
So if;
B->A = 1.0m
A->C = 0.8m
C->B = 0.6m

Then
A = (1.0m + 0.8m) = 0.9m
B = (1.0m + 0.6m) = 0.8m
C = (0.6m + 0.8m) = 0.7m

Creating the Delaunay triangles and uploading the length of each face is easy, but I'm not entirely clear on how to relate the length of those vectors back to the points they were derived from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike
