Of course, v.reclass does the job. I just didn't see the column option...

Regarding the second (additional) part of this question: It seems that
v.to.db works well to report line lengths on a category-base. However,
sinuosity seems to be calculated based on features (i.e. feature ids).
Thus, I only get reasonable results if a cat only consists of one
feature. For connected lines that consist of more than one feature
(lines) the sinuosity index is not correct. So, I probably need to loop
over the cats, extract the lines that belong to one cat and build a
polyline before calculating sinuosity.



Please file a bug report on this so that someone might at least have a
look at it. ISTR, that this kind of limitation was present for other
indicators in v.to.db and is definitely worth thinking about.

Try v.reclass.

[GRASS-user] Merge lines into common categories based an attribute information

2017-09-17 Thread Johannes Radinger 
Hi,

how can I merge multiple lines into one category based on some attribute
information.
For example I have a line vector consisting of 10 lines and several lines
belong to three different groups (lines belonging to the same group share
the same value in a specific attribute column). Now I'd like to merge them
(assign a common cats) and create an new attribute with the "group value"
as new category (the table should then have 3 rows)? I think this should be
easily possible, but I could not yet find the correct tool.

Afterwards I'd like to use v.to.db to update the attribute table with some
info on the vector features. BTW, how is sinuosity (v.to.db) calculated if
several lines are grouped into one category?

Any suggestion is highly welcome! Thanks!


Best regards,
Johannes
