Hello,
With grass 6.4 I could do a v.overlay with an empty map. That was in a
loop to overlay different maps, so I thought I could start from an empty
map, and then overlay tables one at a time and process the result to
remove unneeded columns and rename them.
With grass 7 (svn from yesterday) it doesn't seem to work anymore:
v.in.ascii -e output=empty_map input=-
v.in.region output=other_map
v.overlay ainput=empty_map binput=other_map output=maps_overlay operator=or
Copying vector features from <empty_map@PERMANENT>...
ERROR :No area features found in vector map <empty_map@PERMANENT>. Verify
'atype' parameter.
I can try the other way around, after adding a table to other_map, same error:
v.db.addtable other_map
v.overlay ainput=other_map binput=empty_map output=maps_overlay operator=or
Copying vector features from <other_map@PERMANENT>...
100%
Copying vector features from <empty_map@PERMANENT>...
ERROR :No area features found in vector map <empty_map@PERMANENT>. Verify
'btype' parameter.
I already have a workaround, and I can see the point of the error message.
Yet, I am not completly sure that overlaying with an empty map should never
be possible.
Is it a bug, or is it on purpose? If it is a bug I will report it in the
tracker, but I am not sure it is indeed a bug.
