Dear all,
I am relatively new to GRASS so maybe I am just missing some important
step in between.
What I want to do is to calculate a "simple" distance matrix from x
start points (polygon-raster centroids)
to x end points (specific locations e.g. hospitals) based on a route
network.
In a first step I prepared the network so that every start- and end
point lies on the network (via v.net, option connect).
In a second step I created a point input textfile to use in v.net.path
(ID startX startY endX endY) wit several thousand records.
Testing the shortest path calculation for one, two or three coordinate
pairs read in from the point input file works
as one would expect and I get a new vector layer depicting the pathes
from the start points to the end-points based on the
road network.
But if the number of points in the input point file exceeds 4 coordinate
pairs GRASS calculates all consecutive
distances seemingly as airline distances instead of road based distances
(In the output vector layer the pairs of points
are connected with a straight line only).
Is this a known bug and if yes does anyone of you know a feasible work
around? I would appreciate any hints/
solutions to the problem.
My system environment:
Windows xp professional
Qgis 1.5.0 with grass 6.4 (grass wxphyton interface)
Best regards,
Stefan Neumeier
