I have done something incorrectly trying to create a mask and need a
clue-stick to correct the situation. Here's what I did:
1. Digitized a line to define an area on a base raster map; saved it as
anal_area_mask.
2. v.to.rast in=bndy_conditions type=area out=anal_area_mask use=cat
3. Removed existing mask: r.mask -r
4. Created new mask: r.mask rast=anal_area_mask
5. Selected a raster map in the Layer Manager window.
6. No map displayed in the Map Display window; it's plain white.
Did editing the digitized line to an area, and saving it as a line, affect
how it was converted to a raster map? Yep.
If I change the vector map type from line to boundary or area it is not
visible.
How do I convert this vector line to either a boundary or area (whichever
is appropriate) so it produces a raster mask?

1) Convert the line from type line to type boundary (v.type).
2) Add a centroid inside the area (v.centroids)

Moritz,
I missed seeing v.type when I went through the list of modules. I was
looking for something like this.

Yes, v.centroids does nothing when it's only a line.
Many thanks,
Rich
