GRASS GIS 8.3.dev Reference Manual

Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

This reference manual details the use of modules distributed with Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS), an open source (GNU GPLed), image processing and geographic information system (GIS).

Vector commands:

v.build.all Rebuilds topology on all vector maps in the current mapset.
v.centroids Adds missing centroids to closed boundaries.
v.clip Extracts features of input map which overlay features of clip map.
v.db.addcolumn Adds one or more columns to the attribute table connected to a given vector map.
v.db.addtable Creates and connects a new attribute table to a given layer of an existing vector map.
v.db.dropcolumn Drops a column from the attribute table connected to a given vector map.
v.db.droprow Removes a vector feature from a vector map through attribute selection.
v.db.droptable Removes existing attribute table of a vector map.
v.db.join Joins a database table to a vector map table.
v.db.reconnect.all Reconnects attribute tables for all vector maps from the current mapset to a new database.
v.db.renamecolumn Renames a column in the attribute table connected to a given vector map.
v.db.univar Calculates univariate statistics on selected table column for a GRASS vector map.
v.db.update Updates a column in the attribute table connected to a vector map.
v.dissolve Dissolves boundaries between adjacent areas sharing a common category number or attribute.
