v.net.alloc

## NAME

v.net.alloc - Allocate subnets for nearest centres (direction from centre). Centre node must be opened (costs >= 0). Costs of centre node are used in calculation

## KEYWORDS

vector, networking

## SYNOPSIS

v.net.alloc
v.net.alloc help
v.net.alloc [-g] input=name output=name [type=string[,string,...]] [alayer=integer] [nlayer=integer] [afcolumn=string] [abcolumn=string] [ncolumn=string] ccats=range [--overwrite]

### Flags:

-g
  Use geodesic calculation for longitude-latitude locations
--overwrite
  Force overwrite of output files

### 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
  Default: 2
afcolumn=string
  Arc forward/both direction(s) cost column (number)
abcolumn=string
  Arc backward direction cost column (number)
ncolumn=string
  Node cost column (number)
ccats=range
  Category values
  Categories of centres (points on nodes) to which net will be allocated, layer for this categories is given by nlayer option.

## DESCRIPTION

v.net.alloc allocates subnets for nearest centres (direction from centre). Centre node must be opened (costs >= 0). Costs of centre node are used in calculation. 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.

## NOTES

Center nodes have to be assigned to vector nodes using v.digit. Nodes and arcs can be closed using cost = -1.

## EXAMPLE

    # nlayer=1 if no extra table for nodes:
    v.net.alloc network out=network_alloc ccats=0-13 nlayer=1

    # the result has to be selected by category number of the relevant node:
    d.vect network_alloc cat=9 col=red
    d.vect network_alloc cat=11 col=green
    d.vect network_alloc cat=2492 col=yellow

Calculating subnets for 7 centre nodes using cost assigned to vector length

    v.net.alloc in=vectmap out=vectmap.alloc ccats=1-7

Calculating subnets for 7 centre nodes using cost assignments in both directions

    v.net.alloc in=vectmap afcol=INDEX abcol=INDEXBACK out=vectmap.alloc ccats=1-7
