[GRASS-user] confused by the GRASS Programmer's topology examples...

[G. Allegri]

Thanks very much for the clear explanation.
As I wrote in my self-reply, and as you have highlitghted, I was mixing
some concepts.
I'm studying this because I will probably need to develop some routines for
network analysis. I'm studying the graph structure right now...

Thanks again,
Giovanni
