v.neighbors(1)

NAME
v.neighbors - Neighborhood analysis tool for vector point maps.
Makes each cell value a function of the attribute values assigned to the vector points or centroids around it, and stores new cell values in an output raster map.

KEYWORDS
vector, algebra, statistics, raster, aggregation

SYNOPSIS
v.neighbors
v.neighbors --help
v.neighbors input=name [layer=string] output=name method=string size=float [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

  Flags:

--overwrite
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files

--help
    Print usage summary

--verbose
    Verbose module output

--quiet
    Quiet module output

--ui
    Force launching GUI dialog

  Parameters:

input=name [required]
    Name of input vector map
    Or data source for direct OGR access

layer=string
    Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
    A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
    Default: -1

output=name [required]
    Name for output raster map

method=string [required]
    Neighborhood operation
    Options: count
    Default: count

size=float [required]
    Neighborhood diameter in map units

DESCRIPTION
Makes each cell value a function of the attribute values assigned to the vector points or centroids around it, and stores new cell values in an output raster map layer.

EXAMPLE
Count the number of schools for a given grid (North Carolina sample dataset):

g.region vector=schools_wake res=100 -p -a
v.neighbors input=schools_wake output=schools_wake_3000m method=count size=3000
d.mon wx0
d.rast schools_wake_3000m
d.vect schools_wake

The result gives for each grid cell the number of points (here: schools) not farther than 1500 meter away (half of the given size value) from the respective cell center.
