v.in.region - Creates a vector polygon from the current region extent.
Contents
Description
v.in.region creates a new vector map from current region extent.
If the output of v.in.region is to be used for raster reprojection, the -d flag should be used after
setting the region to the raster map to be reprojected with r.proj.
Example
The example is based on the North Carolina sample data. To create a bounding box vector map based on a
raster map, the computational region is first set to the raster map. Then a vector bounding box is
created based on the actual computational region (in this case precisely reflecting the pixel geometry of
the raster map), resulting in a new vector polygon:
g.region raster=soils_Kfactor -p
v.in.region output=soils_Kfactor_bbox
v.info map=soils_Kfactor_bbox
