v.net.steiner(1)

NAME
v.net.steiner - Create Steiner tree for the network and given terminals. Note that 'Minimum Steiner Tree' problem is NP-hard and heuristic algorithm is used in this module so the the result may be sub optimal.

KEYWORDS
vector, networking

SYNOPSIS
v.net.steiner
v.net.steiner help
v.net.steiner [-g] input=name output=name [type=string[,string,...]] [alayer=integer] [nlayer=integer] [acolumn=string] tcats=range [nsp=integer] [--overwrite]

  Flags:

-g  Use geodesic calculation for longitude-latitude locations

--overwrite

  Parameters:

input=name
    Name of input vector map

output=name
    Name for output vector map

type=string[,string,...]
    Arc type Options: line,boundary Default: line,boundary

alayer=integer
    Arc layer Default: 1

nlayer=integer
    Node layer (used for terminals) Default: 2

acolumn=string
    Arcs' cost column (for both directions)

tcats=range
    Category values Categories of points on terminals (layer is specified by nlayer)

nsp=integer
    Number of steiner poins. (-1 for all possible) Default: -1

DESCRIPTION
v.net.steiner calculates the optimal connection of nodes on a vector network.
