<br>Hi,<br><br>This is a very old problem.<br>IMO, there is no simple solution, becouse the computer cannot guess the shapes and the orientation of the polygons you want.<br>I've worked with land partitioning with CAD and the solution was to use LISP program that guess many split positions until it gets equal areas.<br>First you split in two polygons, than in four and so on.<br><br>A possible aproach in GRASS is to use a grid with "v.mkgrid".<br>Other aproache is to have a "model poligon" with the shape and area that you want and use this polygon like a stamp.<br><br>I still curious about other solutions, and if someone knows anything else please share.<br><br>Regards.<br><br>Pablo Torres Carreira
