[GRASS-user] d.geodesic & d.rhumbline

hi to all
are there any ways to store in a vector layer lines drew by
d.geodesic and d.rhumbline (lat/lon location) ; perhaps are there
any analogous tools like e.g.: v.geodesic and v.rhumbline?
(grass6.4RC5) ?

What about these two commands in grass 7.0?

Many thanks in advance.

Well, I think there isn't a great interest about d.geodesic and d.rhumbline...
After some research I only found these:

http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.4/ST_Length_Spheroid.html
http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.4.0/road_map.html

but very little about these two (interesting) functions in GRASS.

Anymore tips?

Thanks,
ciao

Indeed I would be quite interested to see them rewritten as vector modules!

Perhaps the functionality could go into
lib/vector/Vlib/line.c
in parallel to Vect_line_geodesic_length().
?
