## DESCRIPTION

v.overlay allows the user to overlay to vector area maps. The resulting output map has a merged attribute-table. The origin column-names have a prefix (a_ and b_) which results from the ainput- and binput-map.

## NOTES

Currently only areas are supported for the operators or and xor! See also v.select. The operator defines what kind of operation will be done. Features are written to output, if the result of an operation 'ainput operator binput' is true.

Attributes of the tables from ainput and binput are joined into a new table linked to the output maps new cat-column.

## EXAMPLE

    v.overlay ainput=lake binput=province output=lakeXprovince
