I tried to import arcview shape polygons plus attributes using 5.0's
v.in.shape
Unfortunately the imported attributes are associated with a line, not
with the area of the polygon. In consequnce a transformation of the
vector data to raster data results in a raster of the lines, which
include the attribute information. What I need, and this is what I
expected as an output, is a raster of areas including the attribute
information.
Is this a bug in v.in.shape ? Has anyone got an idea what I should do ?

Hi edgar,
What version of Grass 5 are you using, ie. which Beta release? These
problems have recently been fixed, and the most recent releases of
v.in.shape now create areas. Beta 7 contains a stable release though
I would recommend getting the source from CVS as that imports proper
linework as well. These version also rasterise OK. You need to run
v.spag -i (with the check duplicate lines only option) after import.
