+<h2>NOTES</h2>

|
|
|
|
|
GRASS defines a vector area as composite entity consisting of a set of
|
|
|
closed boundaries and a centroid. The centroids must contain a
|
|
|
category number
|
|
|
(see <em><a href="v.centroids.html">v.centroids</a></em>), this number
|
|
|
is linked to area attributes and database links.

Multiple attributes may be linked to a single vector entity through
|
|
|
numbered fields referred to as layers. Refer
|
|
|
to <em><a href="v.category.html">v.category</a></em> for more details.
