NAME

       v.proj  - Re-projects a vector map from one location to the current location.

KEYWORDS

       vector, projection, transformation

SYNOPSIS

       v.proj
       v.proj help
       v.proj  [-lz]   [input=name]   location=name  [mapset=name]   [dbase=path]   [output=name]
       [--overwrite]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -l
           List vector maps in input location and exit

       -z
           Assume z co-ordinate is ellipsoidal height and transform if possible
           3D vector maps only

       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       input=name
           Name of input vector map

       location=name
           Location containing input vector map

       mapset=name
           Mapset containing input vector map

       dbase=path
           Path to GRASS database of input location

       output=name
           Name for output vector map (default: input)

DESCRIPTION

       v.proj allows a user to convert a vector map in a specified mapset of a specified location
       (different  from current) with projection of input location to the vector map in a current
       mapset of current location with projection  of  current  location  (both  projections  are
       defined by corresponding PROJ_INFO files).

NOTES

       If output is not specified it is set to be the same as input map name.
       If  mapset  is  not  specified, its name is assumed to be the same as the current mapset's
       name.
       If dbase is not specified it is assumed to be the current database. The user only  has  to
       specify dbase if the source location is stored in another separate GRASS database.

       v.proj supports general datum transformations, making use of the PROJ.4 co-ordinate system
       translation library.

EXAMPLES

       v.proj in=mymap location=latlong mapset=user1
