#2780: v.net: make snapping to lines (-s) the default for op=connect
------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: mlennert | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.0
Component: Vector | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: v.net network snapping | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: Unspecified |
------------------------------------+-------------------------
v.net proposes a flag (-s) that allows to snap points to the network in a
'connect' operation, instead of creating new arcs between the points and
the network. In a majority of cases the result of using the flag is, IMHO,
more useful than not using it.
See #2358 for a discussion of what happens when -s is not set.
I, therefore, propose to inverse the behaviour by making snapping to
network the default, and using a flag (such as '-a' for 'add arcs') to
activate the creation of connecting arcs.
As this kind of module API change is only possible in a next major
release, I propose to at least change the documentation to recommend the
use of the '-s' flag.
