NAME

v.net.allpairs - Computes the shortest path between all pairs of nodes in the network.

KEYWORDS

vector, network, shortest path

SYNOPSIS

v.net.allpairs
v.net.allpairs help
v.net.allpairs [-ga] input=name output=name layer=string [cats=range] [where=sql_query] [afcolumn=name] [abcolumn=name] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-g
Use geodesic calculation for longitude-latitude locations
-a
Add points on nodes without points
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

input=name
Name of input vector map
Data source for direct OGR access
output=name
Name for output vector map
layer=string
Layer number or name
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. Layer name for direct OGR access.
Default: 1
cats=range
Category values
Example: 1,3,7-9,13
where=sql_query
WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword
Example: income < 1000 and inhab >= 10000
afcolumn=name
Name of arc forward/both direction(s) cost column
abcolumn=name
Name of arc backward direction cost column

DESCRIPTION

v.net.allpairs computes the shortest path between each select node and all other nodes.

NOTES

An attribute table is created and linked to layer. The table contains three columns: cat, to_cat, cost. Each entry denotes the cost of the shortest path from cat to to_cat. If the cost is negative then no path exists. If points are specified by cats, layer or where parameters then the table is filled only for the selected points. In other words, cat columns contains only selected points but the distances are computed and updated for all other nodes.
If flag -a is set then new points are added on nodes without nodes. These points have the largest categorie. Precisely, category of each new point is larger than any of the old categories. If the flag is not set then no new points are created and hence the attribute table stores the costs only between the points already present in the input. Output consists of all points mentioned in either of the columns.
If abcolumn is not given then then the same costs are used for forward and backward arcs.

EXAMPLES

Find shortest path from each intersection with pedestrian crossing to every other point using SHAPE_LEN for the cost of traversing the arcs in both directions.
v.net.allpairs input=roads output=roads_pairs afcol=SHAPE_LEN where="crossing=1"
