<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>v.split</em> split vector lines into shorter segments using a
maximal distance between nodes.

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

Spearfish location:

<div class="code"><pre>
# insert kilometric nodes to railroad map:
v.extract railroads out=myrr list=1

# join segments into polyline
v.build.polylines myrr out=myrr_pol
v.category myrr out=myrailroads option=add

# show line, category, direction (to find the beginning)
d.vect myrailroads disp=shape,cat,dir

# insert nodes at 1000m distance (max)
v.split railroads out=myrailroads_split length=1000
d.vect myrailroads_split disp=shape,topo
</pre></div>
