[GRASS-user] v.overlay and points?

[charlie]

Nikos, Thanks for the reply.
Will v.patch merge the attribute table so all of the data will be combined together in a new attribute table?


I am trying to merge 2 files, one with plot and address info (area) and the second with property owner info (point). Both of these files contain information about the the plot of land hence they precisely overlay each other, but neither contain any data, besides geography,that can be used to merge the files.

Charlie

[..]

It is not possible to use v.overlay on "points" AND "areas". Check the manual:
<http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/v.overlay.html>.

Maybe you simply want to merge the two vector maps?  In that case, v.patch 
will do it.

Best, Nikos
