Hi all,
I have two vectors: Vector A has lines and Vector B has points that share the same coordinates as a subset of the vertices in the lines. I would like to delete all of the vertices/nodes in Vector A that lie directly underneath the points in Vector B (or perhaps lie within a threshold). I suspect that v.edit tool=vertexdel can do this, but I cannot figure out how to pass the coordinates of a set of points from Vector B to v.edit to be used to select vertices in Vector A for deletion. Could somebody give me a hand with this (or tell me it is not possible)?


Feed the output of v.to.db -p option=coor on Vector B into the coords= parameter of v.edit on Vector A, i.e. something like this:

v.edit A tool=vertexdel coords=`v.to.db -p B option=coor --quiet | awk -F";" '{printf"%f,%f,",$2,$3} END{printf"\n"}'`

Thanks! This worked great with two small changes... using "|" instead of ";" for the field terminator and specifying layer=2 because the points were generated by v.to.points, which puts the point data on layer 2.
