NAME

v.overlay - Overlays two vector maps.

KEYWORDS

vector, geometry

SYNOPSIS

v.overlay
v.overlay help
v.overlay [-t] ainput=name [atype=string[,string,...]] [alayer=integer] binput=name [btype=string[,string,...]] [blayer=integer] output=name [operator=string] [olayer=integer[,integer,...]] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-t

Do not create attribute table
--overwrite

Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose

Verbose module output
--quiet

Quiet module output

Parameters:

ainput=name

Name of input vector map (A)
atype=string[,string,...]

Feature type (vector map A)
Feature type
Options: line,area
Default: area
alayer=integer

Layer number (vector map A)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.
Default: 1
binput=name

Name of input vector map (B)
btype=string[,string,...]

Feature type (vector map B)
Feature type
Options: area
Default: area
blayer=integer

Layer number (vector map B)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.
Default: 1
output=name

Name for output vector map
operator=string

Operator defines features written to output vector map
Feature is written to output if the result of operation 'ainput operator binput' is true. Input feature is considered to be true, if category of given layer is defined.
Options: and,or,not,xor
Default: or
and: also known as 'intersection' in GIS
or: also known as 'union' in GIS (only for atype=area)
not: features from ainput not overlayed by features from binput
xor: features from either ainput or binput but not those from ainput overlayed by binput (only for atype=area)
olayer=integer[,integer,...]

Output layer for new category, ainput and binput
If 0 or not given, the category is not written
Default: 1,0,0

DESCRIPTION

v.overlay allows the user to overlay two vector area maps. The resulting output map has a merged attribute-table. The origin column-names have a prefix (a_ and b_) which results from the ainput- and binput-map.

NOTES

Currently only areas are supported for the operators or and xor! See also v.select. The operator defines what kind of operation will be done. Features are written to output, if the result of an operation 'ainput operator binput' is true.

Attributes of the tables from ainput and binput are joined into a new table linked to the output maps new cat-column.



EXAMPLE


v.overlay ainput=lake binput=province output=lakeXprovince
