Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Hi,
how can I identify which point lies in which polygon?
The points are in an ascii-table, each with latitude, longitude and some
other attributes like name, altitude and id-number.
The vector-map is a map with political boundaries found in the vmap0-dataset
at http://www.gdf-hannover.de/gis.php?id=5THX,

Use v.distance from points to polygon, and store a polygon attribute (such as cat) in the points table.
