v.patch - Creates a new binary vector map layer by combining other binary vector map layers.
KEYWORDS
vector
SYNOPSIS
v.patch v.patch help v.patch [-ae] input=name[,name,...] output=name [--overwrite]
Flags:
-a
Append files to existing file
-e
Copy also attribute table. Only the table of layer 1 is currently supported
--overwrite
Force overwrite of output files
Parameters:
input=name[,name,...]
Vector map(s) -- source for composite
output=name
New vector composite
DESCRIPTION
v.patch allows the user to combine any number of
vector map layers together to create one composite vector
map layer.
If the table structures are identical, attributes are
transferred to the new table.
NOTES
Any vectors that are duplicated among the maps being
patched together (e.g., border lines) will have to be
edited or removed after v.patch is run. Such
editing can be done automatically using
v.clean (tool=snap,break,rmdupl).
