v.what.vect additional upload options

[hamish]

Hi,

I am moving this patch from the old Gforge patch tracker (# 374). I am still not sure if it is useful / meaningful to add.

Hi, I patched the v.what.vect script to allow other upload options.

my needs changed & I don't actually need it now, so am not really sure if any of the add'l upload options are really needed/meaningful so haven't really tested or applied to CVS.

maybe cat can be useful.

modified version of version from CVS 20 April 2007 attached.

This seem to be the new functions:

cat;category of the nearest feature;
dist;minimum distance to nearest feature;
to_x;x coordinate of the nearest point on 'to' feature;
to_y;y coordinate of the nearest point on 'to' feature;
to_along;distance to the nearest point on 'from' feature along linear feature;
to_angle;angle of linear feature in nearest point, counterclockwise from positive x axis, in radians, which is between -PI and PI inclusive

These sound like useful additions. Why not put them in? I can test them in spearfish
