NAME
v.mkgrid - Creates a (binary) GRASS vector map of a user-defined grid.
SYNOPSIS
v.mkgrid
v.mkgrid help
v.mkgrid [-q] map=string grid=rows,columns position=string [coor=x,y] [box=width,height] [angle=float]
Flags:
- -q
- Quiet; No chatter
Parameters:
- map=string
- name of vector map
- grid=rows,columns
- number of ROWS and COLUMNS in grid
- position=string
- Where to place the grid:
region - current region
coor - use 'coor' and 'box' options
- Options: region,coor
- Default: region
- coor=x,y
- lower left EASTING and NORTHING coordinates of map
- box=width,height
- WIDTH and HEIGHT of boxes in grid
- angle=float
- angle of rotation (in degrees counter-clockwise)
- Default: 0
DESCRIPTION
v.mkgrid will create a vector map representation of a regular coordinate grid.
NOTES
This is NOT to be used to generate a vector map of USGS quadrangles,
because USGS quads are not exact rectangles.
EXAMPLE
Make a 4x3 grid, cells 20km a side, with lower left corner at 2716500,6447000:
v.mkgrid map=coro_grid grid=4,3 position=coor coor=2716500,6447000 box=20000,20000
