Hi all, I have imported the gshhs (full resolution) vector shoreline into a latlong location using Grass 5.3 without problems. I would now like to bring it into 5.7. The v.in.gshhs command is not available as near as I can tell with 5.7, so I am trying to use v.convert to go from 5.3 vectors to 5.7. The problem is that I have let v.convert run for 18 hours now, and it says that it is only 4% done with attaching categories. Something seems wrong here. Has anybody imported gshhs full resolution data into 5.7? How did you do it?
Thanks,
Ian
PS I am running on mac os 10.3.5 with 5.7 from Lorenzo Moretti's site, from roughly May, 2004.
Hi all, thanks for the suggestions.
Unfortunately I can't quite get any of them to work. I tried to remove the dig_atts file then running v.convert and let it run for half an hour without ever reaching 2% finished. Next thing I tried was to export the gshhs file from 5.3 as a shape file. I am not quite clear how I get the labels (from the dig_cats) file to be part of that shape file. The command I used was:
v.out.shape type=line map=gshhs_l
The resulting shape file has all the geometry, but no labels associated with the lines when I import it back into 5.7
I also tried to import the shape file from NOAA, but it does not contain the labels layer.
I am sure there is a way to do this. I am figuring I need to figure out how to export a shape file with the dig_cats file information attached to it somehow, OR I need to just turn a dig_cats file into a database after importing the geometry with v.in.ascii.
Thanks,
Ian

I have not been able to find v.in.gshhs in grass6.0 and do not seem to
be able find any reference to this as an upcoming plan for grass6.0. I
used this before in grass5.0 and grass5.1 with no trouble and need this
now for grass6.0.
I have tried to import the gshhs shp file but I get an error when trying
to display a zoomed in level on this file (and have previously reported
this error to the list with no response).
Anyone know if this is/will be available for grass6.0? Or if there is a
specific reason it was left out?
Alternately, does anyone know of an alternate data set for this then?
Ed, I have had trouble with this data set as well. I think I just converted my gshhs vector data from my GRASS 5.x database to GRASS 6.0 format. I think it is something to do with the global nature of the data (some lines cross the -180 longitude line, or something like that).
If you figure something out with this, let us know. You could try to use something like the Digital Chart of the World (DCW) data. It is available from here: http://data.geocomm.com

I just loaded an SDTS coverage (state boundaries from the National
Atlas) into a lat/lon location using v.in.ogr. There were a few warning
messages but all seemed to work just fine. I then ran v.build on the
new layer and it completed with no errors but when I try to display this
new layer with d.vect I get an error as shown below:

in general see the Module Porting List on the wiki, but for v.in.gshhs
it has no answer. (unported so far)
