NAME
v.in.tig.rim - Imports Census Bureau line data (TIGER files)
to GRASS vector format.
(GRASS Vector Data Import Program)
SYNOPSIS
v.in.tig.rim
v.in.tig.rim help
v.in.tig.rim dbname=name in1file=name in2file=name zone=value
DESCRIPTION
v.in.tig.rim imports Census line data (called TIGER) and creates a
"master" binary vector file containing a large amount of data. Various
map layers can then be created by querying information from the master
vector file using
v.db.rim
or one of the Gen. shell scripts
listed in the SEE ALSO section, below.
The database name (dbname) given on the command line
will be the name of the rim data base, and the master vector file
in GRASS will be named "dbname.Master". The master vector file will
include all information from the type1 and type2 TIGER files given
on the command line as in1file and in2file. If the user simply
types v.in.tig.rim on the command line, all parameters will be
queried using the standard GRASS
parser
described in the manual
entry for
parser
.
OPTIONS
Parameters:
- dbname=name

- TIGER type1 input file name.
- in2file=name

are located.
Options: -60 - 60
NOTES
TIGER data are presented in latitude/longitude format, and are converted
to UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates as part of this
importing routine. The spheroid used in the conversion is clark 66, as
it is the most>
