Hi all.
Some grass modules seem redundant, with caveats:
- v.out.ogr.gml and the generic v.out.ogr
The generic one does not seem to work for GML:
v.out.ogr input=test at user1 type=area layer=1 format=GML dsn=/home/paolo/Desktop
olayer=prova2 -e -c
ERROR 4: Failed to create GML file /home/paolo/Desktop.
Unable to open OGR data source '/home/paolo/Desktop'
whereas v.out.ogr.gml works, apparently because it allows to define the layer name
- v.out.ogr.mapinfo and the generic v.out.ogr
I think the generic one is more than enough for mapinfo; I suggest to remove the
specific one (that has also a wrong description)
- r.out.gdal.gtiff and v.out.ogr
the only difference is that the gtiff module automatically writes the file
extension (.tif), whereas the generic one writes a file without extension, which
can e confusing and annoying. I would suggest to remove the specific one if the
generic can cope with this.
All the best.
