[GRASS-user] v.to.rast with text column

Hamish:

maybe I am missing something, but why not just do:
"v.to.rast use=cat labelcolumn=name" ?

sorry I was still thinking about ticket #175,
that should read:

"v.to.rast use=attr column=cat labelcolumn=name"

OK-- Yes. That is what I did. However, I cancelled the job before it
completed, as it was taking 10 times longer than without the label column. I
found that dumping my lookup table from postgres, reformatting with awk, and
then labeling cats with r.category was much faster.

Cheers,
Dylan
