<i><b>README:</b>
GRASS 5.1 is currently under development. It is neither complete (it still
contains only a few modules) nor it is intended for productional usage. 
Development releases are provided for people who want to help test, debug,
and improve GRASS 5.1. Knowing this, please read on.</i><br>
<i>
These examples described here may work or not. You are kindly invited to
send us further examples and/or code bugfixes/enhancements.</i>

To illustrate the GRASS vector overlay/clipping capabilities, we use data from VMAP 0, in particular the political
boundaries of Germany. The data set was extracted, reprojected to LatLong/WGS84 and converted to SHAPE 
with 'ogr2ogr'.
<br>
In a LatLong GRASS location we can do:
<P>
Import of this SHAPE file:
<div class="code"><pre>
v.in.ogr polbnda_germany.shp out=polbnda_germany
d.vect polbnda_germany
</pre></div>

<P>
<a href=images/germany_latlong_with_polygon.png><DEFANGED_IMG src=images/germany_latlong_with_polygon_small.jpg alt="GRASS vector overlay/clipping example"></a>
<P>

Digitizing a triangle:
<div class="code"><pre>
v.digit -n clipmap
d.erase ; d.vect polbnda_germany col=blue
d.vect clipmap col=green
</pre></div>

<P>
Vector union (AND):
<div class="code"><pre>
v.overlay ainput=polbnda_germany binput=clipmap output=clipmap_union operator=and -t
d.erase ; d.vect clipmap_union
</pre></div>

<P>
<a href=images/clipmap_union.png><DEFANGED_IMG src=images/clipmap_union_small.jpg alt="GRASS vector overlay/clipping example"></a>

<P>
Vector intersection (OR):
<div class="code"><pre>
v.overlay ainput=polbnda_germany binput=clipmap output=clipmap_intersection operator=or -t
d.erase ; d.vect clipmap_intersection
</pre></div>

<P>
<a href=images/clipmap_intersection.png><DEFANGED_IMG src=images/clipmap_intersection_small.jpg alt="GRASS vector overlay/clipping example"></a>
<P>

<P>
Vector cut out: features from polbnda_germany NOT in clipmap (NOT):
<div class="code"><pre>
v.overlay ainput=polbnda_germany binput=clipmap output=clipmap_not operator=not -t
d.erase ; d.vect clipmap_not
</pre></div>

<P>
<a href=images/clipmap_not.png><DEFANGED_IMG src=images/clipmap_not_small.jpg alt="GRASS vector overlay/clipping example"></a>
<P>

<P>
Vector features from either polbnda_germany or clipmap but not those from
polbnda_germany overlayed by clipmap (XOR)
<div class="code"><pre>
v.overlay ainput=polbnda_germany binput=clipmap output=clipmap_xor operator=xor -t
d.erase ; d.vect clipmap_xor
</pre></div>

<P>
<a href=images/clipmap_xor.png><DEFANGED_IMG src=images/clipmap_xor_small.jpg alt="GRASS vector overlay/clipping example"></a>
