Good day,
Does anybody know a routine for converting point data
(sites files) to vector or raster maps? I'm familiar
with v.to.sites, but don't know of a routine that runs
in the opposite direction.Thanks for any advice,
Scott

Well there's always the brute force method: awk.
I have frequently made dig_ascii files from sites files
using awk and then using v.in.ascii.
Use another dig_ascii file to get the ~14 header lines
correct. Then use awk to create vector points
P 2
North east
north east
P 2
north east
north east
NOTE: the dig_ascii has north then east, but the sites files
have east then north.
An example awk script would be
awk -F"|" '{printf("P 2\n %s %s\n %s %s\n", $2, $1, $2, $1)}' insitesfile > outdigascii.
Then
cat outdigascii >> filewith_header_info
you can then create a dig_att and a dig_cats file in similar fashion.
