54
55 mapset=name
56 Mapset containing input vector map
57 Default: name of current mapset
58
59 input=name
60 Name of input vector map to re-project
61
62 dbase=path
63 Path to GRASS database of input location
64 Default: path to the current GRASS GIS database
65
66 smax=float
67 Maximum segment length in meters in output vector map

71 output=name
72 Name for output vector map (default: input)
73
75 v.proj allows a user to convert a vector map in a specified mapset of a
76 specified location (different from current) with projection of input
77 location to the vector map in a current mapset of current location with
78 projection of current location (both projections are defined by corre‐
79 sponding PROJ_INFO files). The projection information is taken from the
80 current PROJ_INFO files, as set and viewed with g.proj.
81
83 If output is not specified it is set to be the same as input map name.
84 If mapset is not specified, its name is assumed to be the same as the
85 current mapset’s name.
86 If dbase is not specified it is assumed to be the current database. The
87 user only has to specify dbase if the source location is stored in
88 another separate GRASS database.
89 If smax is set to 0 the automated vertex densification is disabled (not
90 recommended).
91
92 v.proj supports general datum transformations, making use of the PROJ.4
93 co-ordinate system translation library.
94
95 When projecting into a latlon location, east coordinates are wrapped by
96 the proj4 library to fit into the range -180,180. This is in most cases
97 appropriate, but can cause errors the input vector crosses the datum
98 line at 180E/W. In this case wrapping of east coordinates to -180,180
99 needs to be disabled with the -w flag.
100
101 When reprojecting massive point clouds for which topology is not neces‐
102 sary, the user can set the -b flag to suppress the building of topology
103 of the output map.
104
105 In order to preserve spatial detail, v.proj performs automated vertex
106 densification (as an alternative, v.split could be used before repro‐
107 jecting. Without vertex densification, depending on the source and tar‐
108 get CRS (Coordinate Reference System), geometries can be substantially
109 deformed (straight lines become curves, squares become trapezoids,
110 etc). The densification of linear features can help to avoid topologi‐
111 cal errors.
