Yes. The cool (and sometimes confusing) thing
about GRASS is that often there are several ways
of getting the result you want.

n.b. in this case v.report is just a more obvious
wrapper-frontend to v.to.db.

Hi all,

yes,yesYES thank you for your inputs :slight_smile:
it was a simple case of me not having a table with the info in to start
with, so once i remedied that with v.to.db (hello old friend, where have
you been hiding?) reports and map queries were a breeze, as well as easy
calculations directly on the table in sql (in pgadmin) to answer the
number-crunching I desired.

A happy chappy :slight_smile:

and although I noted a coupla odd things in the digitiser (which I'm
still to check in north carolina dataset and give feedback on) i managed
to NOT do any bad combination of mouse-clicks and ruin the vector in
question :wink: soon i'll earn the badge of guru-beginner :wink:

-shane.
