I'm sorry to interrupt Your advanced discussion, but if there are just some "holes" that are required to be converted to polygons, then why not use v.digit? Simply digitising new centroid inside a hole (enclosed from other polygon boundaries) will turn hole into polygon. WBR, Maris. 2008/1/31, Ni

Hi everyone, First--I want to thank everyone on this list. I've installed a lot of new tools in the last month (including a new OS, ubuntu) and got up and running very fast because of help received here. Thank you again! Second--another question (of course). I have a vector (polygon) layer and th
