DESCRIPTION

       d.path enables shortest path vector networking.  Costs may be either line lengths, or attributes saved in
       a database table.  Supported are cost assignments for both arcs and nodes, and  also  different  in  both
       directions of a vector line. For areas cost will be calculated along boundary lines.

NOTE

       The  user  needs  to  display a vector map before using d.path. The 'from' and 'to' points are entered by
       mouse into the map displayed in the GRASS monitor, or if the coor option is used they  can  be  specified
       non-interactively.   The  actions  bound  to  the mouse buttons are described in the terminal window when
       running the command.

       To calculate shortest path non-interactively and save the path to a new vector map,  use  the  v.net.path
       module.

EXAMPLE

       Interactive shortest path routing on road network (Spearfish region):
       g.region vector=roads
       d.mon x0
       d.vect roads
       d.path roads
        Non-interactive shortest path routing on road network (Spearfish region):
       d.path -b roads coor=601653.5,4922869.2,593330.8,4924096.6
