[GRASS-dev] v.category area/face

Hi all,

I am not sure whether the vector type 'area' should be listed in
v.category report. As I understand 'area' is a "virtual" vector type,
a category number is always connected with the centroid/boundary. So
if I understand well count of area (in v.category) is always '0' (??).

LAYER 1:
type count min max
point 0 0 0
line 0 0 0
boundary 1 1 1
centroid 3 1 1
area 0 0 0
all 4 1 1

The second point is the vector type 'face' which seems to be ignored
in v.category.

LAYER/TABLE 1/objekty:
type count min max
point 0 0 0
line 0 0 0
boundary 0 0 0
centroid 0 0 0
area 0 0 0
all 336405 1 14

X

| Number of boundaries: 0 Number of faces: 336405 |

I have slightly modified v.category in this way. But I am not sure
about removing vector type 'area' (also from parameter 'type') from
v.category report...

Another question: is there any reason why 'face' is not part of G_OPT_V_TYPE.

Best regards, Martin
