Re: [GRASS-user] How to import as vector?
Thank you for the suggestions! Yes, it will be a lot of work and time consuming to digitize it. I was also suggested to use Inkscape to autotrace it and save it in (svg). However, saving it as (svg) does not help because 'v.in.ogr' does not seem to import that format. I even saved it as (dxf) but the import failed –nothing showed up after importing it as vector layer– with 'v.in.ogr' and 'v'in.dxf'. Is there a separate module for importing (svg) files or should I use a different file extension?

Raster to vector transformation does not work. Since it is a raster map you have (at least) two options: - use it as background for a digitizer (likely a lot of work) - try image processing to get out raster lines, then r.thin and subsequently r.to.vect with lines. This much depends on the JPG quality. - (there are some autotracer tools, too) Markus ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
[GRASS-user] How to import as vector?
Dear List, I found a plan / architectural drawing online. I am not sure about the resolution but JPG version is 25 Mb and TIFF version is 410 Kb*. *I want to import the drawing as vector into 'xy location' and then rectify it. I already did rectify the image as "raster" but I will need a vector layer. Looking at 'v.in.ogr' I am not sure how to bring images of such formats into GRASS as vector. Raster to vector transformation does not work. I appreciate suggestions. Thanks. -- BÜLENT ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
