__TOC__
GRASS digitizing tool should be
* written in '''wxPython''' Programming language or Tcl
* it should extend functionality of map display just like new Georeferencing tool does:
** (like ArcGIS does) only new "Digitizing Toolbox" would appear, after digitizing tool is started
** Vector file editing will happen in current map display, with all it's functions for zooming, quering and so on
* There should be graphical tool for database management, at least for adding (?and removing?) columns, adding new features and editing existing ones.


While digitising, edited vector file would be drawed to map display. ''Only currently edited or selected features would be stored in memory.'' This should spead up digitising and redrawing process significantly.

=v.edit=
=== New digitizer ===
GRASS graphical digitising tool should be graphical front-end for new v.edit module. v.edit should be CML tool for
* creating new vector file, eventualy overwrite existing ones '''create'''
* adding new features (points, lines, polylines, centroids) '''add'''
* removenig old features (with database record) '''delete'''
* moving whole feature '''move'''
* moving specified vertex '''vertex'''
* adding new vertext to line/boundary '''break'''
* spliting line/boundary completely '''split'''
* merging two lines/boundaries together '''merge'''
* IMHO funtionality for adding 'z' values to vector contour lines should be back too


v.edit should accept feature selection by:
Quick overview:
* bbox '''bbox'''
* Editing of vector objects:
* catlist '''cats'''
** Add, Break, Copy, Connect, Convert Type, Delete, Flip direction, Merge, Move, Select lines by query, Snap, Split
* single coordinates '''coords'''
* Cats:
** Copy, Delete, Z-Bulk Labeling
* Vertex:
** Insert, Delete, Move


==Examples of actions==
* '''For details, see [[WxGUI#Vector_digitizer|Vector digitizer]] in [[wxGUI]]'''
* Create new vector file
v.edit tool=create map=vectfile
creates new vector map, eventualy will read data from standard inputs in default format (standard/point)
v.edit tool=create map=vectfile input=file.txt
creates new vector map and reads data from file file.txt in default format


* Add new feature to existing vector
v.edit tool=add map=vectfile format=standard
Read data from standard inputs in standard format
v.edit tool=add map=vectfile input=file.txt format=point
Reads data from file file.txt in point format


* Remove feature from vector file

v.edit tool=delete map=vectfile cat=34,24

v.edit tool=move map=vectifle cat=45 move=1000,-1000
Move all points of feature of category 45 to coordinates about 1000 map units to the west and 1000 map units to the south
v.edit tool=move map=vectifle bbox=344556.23,234455.2345,567566.34,456455.34 to=1000,-1000
Move all points of features defined by bounding box 344556.23,234455.2345,567566.34,456455.34 about 1000 map units to the west and 1000 map units to the south


* Moving vertext

v.edit tool=vertex map=vectifile coords=344556.23,23445.2345 move=1000,-1000
Move vertex on coordinates 344556.23,23445.2345 to 545556.23,22445.2345


* Breaking line
== Command Line (CLI) vector digitizer ==

* Spliting line
See manual page of {{cmd|v.edit}}.
v.edit tool=split map=vectifile coords=344556.23,23445.2345 at=345433.3,34567.32

GUI vector digitizer

New digitizer

Quick overview:

  • Editing of vector objects:
    • Add, Break, Copy, Connect, Convert Type, Delete, Flip direction, Merge, Move, Select lines by query, Snap, Split
  • Cats:
    • Copy, Delete, Z-Bulk Labeling
  • Vertex:
    • Insert, Delete, Move

  • TCL/TK-based old fashioned v.digit module
  • no longer maintained

Command Line (CLI) vector digitizer

See manual page of v.edit.

Raster digitizer

The r.in.poly ASCII format is almost the same as the standard vector ASCII format. So the new digitizer should be able to output for both, and then we have a replacement for r.digit too!
