Name

v.mkgrid - Creates a GRASS vector map of a user-defined grid.

Keywords

vector

Synopsis

v.mkgrid
v.mkgrid help
v.mkgrid [-q] map=name grid=rows,columns [position=string] [coor=x,y] [box=width,height] [angle=float] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-q: Quiet; No chatter
--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

map=name: Name for output vector map
grid=rows,columns: Number of rows and columns in grid
position=string: Where to place the grid
Options: region,coor
Default: region
region: current region
coor: use 'coor' and 'box' options
coor=x,y: Lower left easting and northing coordinates of map
box=width,height: Width and height of boxes in grid
angle=float: Angle of rotation (in degrees counter-clockwise)
Default: 0

Description

v.mkgrid will create a vector map representation of a regular coordinate grid.

Notes

This is NOT to be used to generate a vector map of USGS quadrangles, because USGS quads are not exact rectangles.

Example

Make a 4x3 grid, cells 20km a side, with lower left corner at 2716500,6447000:v.mkgrid map=coro_grid grid=4,3 position=coor coor=2716500,6447000 box=20000,20000
