SYNOPSIS

       v.parallel
       v.parallel help
       v.parallel    [-rb]    input=name    output=name   distance=float    [minordistance=float]
       [angle=float]  side=string  [tolerance=float]   [--overwrite]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -r
           Make outside corners round

       -b
           Create buffer-like parallel lines

       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --verbose

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       input=name
           Name of input vector map

       output=name
           Name for output vector map

       distance=float
           Offset along major axis in map units

           Options: 0-100000000

       angle=float
           Angle of major axis in degrees
           Default: 0

       side=string
           Side
           Options: left,right,both
           Default: right
           left: Parallel line is on the left
           right: Parallel line is on the right
           both: Parallel lines on both sides

DESCRIPTION

       v.parallel creates parallel lines to the input vector lines which can  be  used  as  half-
       buffers.
