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.  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
