Dear List,
I am having problems exporting a vector out as a shapefile with
polygons. I seem to get only lines.
If I run v.info on my vector I get the following. Which states I have
areas and centroids.
Type of Map: Vector (level: 2) |
| |
| Number of points: 0 Number of areas: 3588 |
| Number of lines: 0 Number of islands: 1 |
| Number of boundaries: 14632 Number of faces: 0 |
| Number of centroids: 3588 Number of kernels: 0 |
| |
| Map is 3D: 0 |
| Number of dblinks: 1 |
| |
| Projection: UTM (zone 0) |
| N: 5920000.000 S: 5828000.000 |
| E: 452000.000 W: 296000.000 |
| B: 0.000 T: 0.000 |
| |
| Digitize threshold: 0.00000
If I run the following command
v.out.ogr -p input=grid_small type=area dsn=grid_small layer=1
format=ESRI_Shapefile
and then run the following
ogrinfo grid_small.shp grid_small
I get only linestring and no polygons
OGRFeature(grid_small):13540
cat (Real) = (null)
row (Real) = (null)
col (Real) = (null)
LINESTRING (406000 5852000 0,406000 5854000 0)
when i import it into arcvie 3.x i only get a polyline shapefile.
Any help on how to construct a polygon shapefile would be greatly appreciated.
regards
Andrew
