v.parallel (1)
NAME
v.parallel - Creates parallel line to input vector lines.
KEYWORDS
vector, geometry, buffer, line
SYNOPSIS
v.parallel
v.parallel --help
v.parallel [-rb] input=name [layer=string] output=name distance=float [minordistance=float] [angle=float] side=string [tolerance=float] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
-r
Make outside corners round
-b
Create buffer-like parallel lines
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string
Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: -1
output=name [required]
Name for output vector map
distance=float [required]
Offset along major axis in map units
Options: 0-100000000
minordistance=float
Offset along minor axis in map units
Options: 0-100000000
angle=float
Angle of major axis in degrees
Default: 0
side=string [required]
Side
Options: left, right, both
Default: right
left: Parallel line is on the left
right: Parallel line is on the right
both: Parallel lines on both sides
tolerance=float
Tolerance of arc polylines in map units
Options: 0-100000000
DESCRIPTION
v.parallel creates parallel lines to the input vector lines which can be used as half-buffers.
NOTES
Usage of -b flag will overrule the side parameter.
KNOWN ISSUES
There is a problem with side-offset parallel line generation for inside corners. To avoid this problem, the -b flag might be used.
