v.delaunay - GRASS GIS manual

NAME

v.delaunay - Creates a Delaunay triangulation from an input vector map containing points or centroids.

KEYWORDS

SYNOPSIS

v.delaunay

v.delaunay --help

v.delaunay [-rl] input=name [layer=string] output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-r: Use only points in current region
-l: Output triangulation as a graph (lines), not areas
--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 input vector map; Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string: Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers); A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.; Default: -1
output=name [required]: Name for output vector map

DESCRIPTION

v.delaunay uses an existing vector points map (input) to create a Delaunay triangulation vector map (output).

Delaunay triangulation example (red-yellow points are the data points from which the triangulation was generated):

EXAMPLE

Commands used with the North Carolina dataset to create the above figure (subset shown in figure).

g.region n=220750 s=219950 w=638300 e=639000 -p
v.delaunay input=elev_lid792_randpts output=elev_lid792_randpts_delaunay
