[Pkg-grass-devel] Bug#305248: v.digit: Digitizing of Elevation Isolines now impossible

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: grass
Version: 5.7.0+6.0.0beta2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/grass/bin/v.digit
Tags: upstream

In
http://grass.itc.it/gdp/grass5tutor/grass50_tutorial_en_html.tar.gz
part HTML/c925.html#AEN1013
it says

  First digitize the lines without attributes. Then change to the
  'Label' menu by pressing 'L'. Now hit 'i' for 'contour interval' and
  select the appropriate interval of lines, default is 5 base units per
  line. The base unit is usually meter, hence it defaults to 5 m. After
  that press 'c' for 'Label contours' and start entering your elevation
  data.

So now all that functionality has been lost apparently, if indeed they
are talking about v.digit.

Apparently the new way is:
  In v.digit, before digitizing, open up settings -> table tab and add
  an elevation column, then create table. then add elevation as you
  digitize lines.
Which I had to learn by asking on the mailing list.
