I'm having an issue with the proper display of islands in GRASS. I have
imported some shapefiles from GeoGratis (http://www.geogratic.ca -
topographic data source for Canada) and the islands always show up filled
in. It seems that in these files the islands are categorized so using
"d.vect water_bodies cats=1-999999" does not eliminate the islands. There
doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to GeoGratises categories so I
can't filter out islands based on categories.
Is there any way I can tell grass to assign a particular category to all
islands? Doing a v.info tells me how many islands there are so it
obviously knows how to find them. Or if that is the wrong approach, what
would be the correct?
