t.vect.extract - GRASS GIS manual

Note: This document is for an older version of GRASS GIS that will be discontinued soon. You should upgrade, and read the current manual page.

NAME

t.vect.extract - Extracts a subset of a space time vector dataset.

KEYWORDS

temporal, extract, vector, time

SYNOPSIS

t.vect.extract

t.vect.extract --help

t.vect.extract [-n] input=name [where=sql_query] [expression=sql_query] output=name [layer=string] [type=string[,string,...]] [basename=string] [suffix=string] [nprocs=integer] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-n: Register empty maps
--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

input=name [required]: Name of the input space time vector dataset
where=sql_query: WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword used in the temporal GIS framework; Example: start_time > '2001-01-01 12:30:00'
expression=sql_query: WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword; Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
output=name [required]: Name of the output space time vector dataset
layer=string: Layer number or name; Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.; Default: 1
type=string[,string,...]: Input feature type; Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area; Default: point,line,boundary,centroid,area
basename=string: Basename of the new generated output maps; A numerical suffix separated by an underscore will be attached to create a unique identifier
suffix=string: Suffix to add at basename: set 'gran' for granularity, 'time' for the full time format, 'num' for numerical suffix with a specific number of digits (default %05); Default: gran
nprocs=integer: The number of v.extract processes to run in parallel. Use only if database backend is used which supports concurrent writing; Default: 1

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of t.vect.extract is to extract a subset of a space time vector dataset and to store that subset in a different space time vector dataset.

EXAMPLE

In the following example a new space time vector dataset will be create with all the data later than 2000:

t.vect.extract input=shoreline where="start_time > 2000" \
               output=shoreline_later_2000 basename=new_shoreline

t.info shoreline_later_2000@shoreline type=stvds
