[GRASSLIST:7128] v.digit

Hi list,

I am digitizing a map and I have some issues due to the lack of a "join" operation in v.digit module. Since I have to start a new line everytime I use the "pan" function, I use v.build.polylines to joine them afterwards. Trouble is, that the new vector map generated from v.build.polylines does not preserve the table structure (the "height" column that I add to to the original vector map).

Any workaround?

Thanks

Hi,

you could use Quantum GIS to digitize within the GRASS database, AFAIK it
allows what you are looking for.

BTW: There already exists a wish list for v.digit in the bugtracker (03/2005)
http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3090&display=History

1) Visualization of snapping radius.
2) Snapping to lines
3) Snap to vetices and nodes.
4) virtually snapping to a background map.

maybe you can add your wish as well,
but it seems that the development prefers QGIS as digitizing tool.

Thanks for the feedback.

QGIS seems a very nice solution but I cant get it to work with GRASS. Any feedback from OS X users would be greatly appreciated

I downloaded QGIS for mac os x and I followerd the instructions int he ReadMe file for activating GRASS support. But when I start QGIS (from within Terminal) I get

dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart
   Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
   Expected in: /usr/local/grasslib/lib/libJPEG.dylib

I have the binaries of Lorenzo installed

Then jpeg lib that I have in /usr/local/grasslib/lib is libjpeg.dylib (not capital letters)

Any feedback from OS X users would be greatly appreciated

There are not enough developers to do this currently. This is one reason
that QGIS is suggested. For those who are able to compile it, it has pretty
good digitizing tools.

However, if someone could "adopt" v.digit, it could be considerably improved
I'm sure. I did a little cosmetic improvement, but don't have the
C-programming skills to implement the wishes. I'm sure that someone out
there does. It just takes a volunteer.
