v.to.gnuplot - outputs an ASCII vector map in GNUPLOT format
(GRASS Shell Script)
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
v.to.gnuplot
is an awk shell script that converts an ASCII vector map into
a format suitable for plotting with gnuplot
and writes the results to standard output.
OPTIONS
This program runs non-interactively; the user must either
state all parameter values on the command line or use redirection.
Parameter:
- name
- Full path of an ASCII vector map layer.
EXAMPLE
Typing the following at the command line:
-
v.to.gnuplot < LOCATION/dig_ascii/elevation > elev.dat
will write the raster data to elev.dat.
After staring the GRASS graphics monitor, the following
dialogue:
-
gnuplot
gnuplot> plot 'elev.dat' noTITLE with lines
will plot a map of elevation.
NOTES
Output may be saved as
PostScript, FrameMaker, TeX, etc (approximately 2 dozen output
formats).
v.clean
and
v.out.ascii,
must be run prior to v.to.gnuplot.
