<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>v.to.lines</em> converts vector polygons (boundaries) to lines as well
as vector points to lines via triangulations.

<h2>NOTES</h2>

<em>v.to.lines</em> is able to convert point data (via triangulation)
and areas to lines (via boundary to line conversion).

This script is a wrapper script to <em>v.category</em>,
<em>v.delaunay</em>, and <em>v.edit</em>.

<p>
In order to convert an ordered list of coordinates (ASCII table with
x,y[,z] coordinates) into vector lines, use <em>v.in.lines</em>.

<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>

The examples are for the North Carolina sample dataset location:

<h3>Area to line conversion</h3>

<div class="code"><pre>
v.to.lines input=boundary_municp output=boundary_municp_lines
</pre></div>

<h3>Point to line conversion</h3>
<div class="code"><pre>
v.to.lines input=geodetic_pts output=geodetic_pts_lines
</pre></div>
