[GRASS-user] square buffer from points

Hello,

I am looking for a way to create a square buffer for some points (with coordinates) so that each point is in the end the bottom left corner of a square with defined side length.

Any idea how to achieve that? Or hints where to find relevant documents.

Thank you in advance,

Simone

v.mkgrid could generated that

Perhaps there are other ways, too (despite defining the coordinates and then
use v.in.ascii).

hello,

have a look at r.pi.rectangle in the svn add-ons in the r.pi folder:
