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 location.  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
