[GRASSLIST:9181] xy location to projected location

Hi,
in GRASS6.1
a vector file created in XY location cannot be RE-projected to a PROJECTED LOCATION

but however

  1. a raster can be georeferrenced to any projected location.

So, If by oversight, you painstakingly vectorise a scanned raster in XY, and then project it to a location, you will discover the mistake, too late… The resultant vector cannot be projected.

Instead
Project a raster image into lat long/ any other projection, and then do all the vector conversion, you are in the right track.

  1. If the deductions above are correct… Will the developers look into, and create a method where XY vectors can be projected.

ThanQ in anticipation!

Ravi,

Does v.transform help?
