v.clip - Extracts features of input map which overlay features of clip map.

       Zofie Cimburova, GeoForAll Lab, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic

v.clip  module enables extracting those features of input vector map, which overlay features of clip map,
       as well as their storing in a new vector map.

       In default, boundaries of clip map are dissolved before clipping. Alternatively, flag -d can be ticked to
       retain the boundaries of clip map. Flag -b facilitates clipping by current computational region.

       It is possible to clip vector maps consisting of points, lines, areas or combinations of these.  However,
       the  current version does not fully support clipping of mixed geometry containing points. In such a case,
       the output map will only store clipped lines and/or areas.

Basicuse
       Clip railroads by counties Wake and Johnston in North Carolina (North Carolina data set).
       v.extract input=boundary_county where="NAME=’WAKE’ OR NAME=’JOHNSTON’" output=county_WAKE_JOHNSTON
       v.clip input=railroads clip=county_WAKE_JOHNSTON output=railroads_WAKE_JOHNSTON
       Figure:v.clipexample-basicuseRetainboundariesofclipmap
       v.clip -d input=railroads clip=county_WAKE_JOHNSTON output=railroads_WAKE_JOHNSTON

   Clipbycurrentcomputationalregion
       Clip  hospitals  by  computational region adjusted to counties Wake and Johnston in North Carolina (North
       Carolina data set).  It is not obligatory to enter name of clip map. In case it is stated, the  clip  map
       will be omitted.
       v.extract input=boundary_county where="NAME=’WAKE’ OR NAME=’JOHNSTON’" output=county_WAKE_JOHNSTON
       v.clip -r input=hospitals output=hospitals_clip

v.clip  - Extracts features of input map which overlay features of clip map.

v.clip is a front-end to v.overlay, as well as v.select. Clipping of areas and/or lines can  be  achieved
       using v.overlay. Clipping of points can be performed with v.select.
