can we convert 3D polygons or tins to a DEM? Possibly a job for
v.to.rast...
v.to.rast help
...
use Source of raster values:
z - use z coordinate (points or contours only)
Would it be a big mess to extend that?
I guess wouldn't be so complicated to add support also for faces
(and
3d lines in general) to v.to.rast... I can try take a look.
just idea,
tin ->
v.to.points -n
v.clean tool=rmdupl
v.surf.* -> dem
well, this would only give an approximation AFAIK.
that is right - if you want to preserve the triangle facets in the
TIN
you need to do linear interpolation using the 3 points of each
triangle facet and you get something like this
(this is TIN converted to raster in some old version of Arc)
http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/gmslab/interp/F1b.gif
I discovered that we have tin.c in vectlib:
int
Vect_tin_get_z (
struct Map_info *Map,
double tx, double ty,
double *tz, double *angle, double *slope)
that looks promising - I checked v.delaunay and unfortunately it
ignores the z-coordinate even if you give it 3D vector points - so first
the v.delaunay would have to be updated to preserve the z-coordinates
and write 3D vector map rather than 2D (perhaps not too complicated
task)
and then the simplest way would be just to call the above function
for each grid point
with Map being the 3D vector area map from v.delaunay.
The computation of slope and aspect is missing but adding those
should be easy.
maybe somebody with better C-programming skills could look at it -
just adding
the z coordinate to v.delaunay would add the missing TIN support to
GRASS
and the result could be visualized as 3D vector,
