Q: How to add a new point to the vector map at given position?
A:
CLI
Method 1
- Add new point to the vector map (x=100, y=100, layer=1, category=1) with v.edit:
v.edit -n map=<map> tool=add input=- << EOF P 1 1 100 100 1 1 EOF
- Insert new record to the attribute table of the vector map (if required) with db.execute:
echo "insert into <map> values(1, ...)" | db.execute input=-
Method 2
v.in.ascii the new point into its own new map, then use v.patch to combine the new point with the old points (attribute tables must match exactly).
echo "100 100" | v.in.ascii input=- output=new_point_map
v.patch input=old_point_map,new_point_map output=combined_points_map
