## NAME

v.split

## DESCRIPTION

v.split split vector lines into shorter segments using a maximal distance between nodes.

## EXAMPLE

Spearfish location:

    # insert kilometric nodes to railroad map:
    v.extract railroads out=myrr list=1

    # join segments into polyline
    v.build.polylines myrr out=myrr_pol
    v.category myrr out=myrailroads option=add

    # show line, category, direction (to find the beginning)
    d.vect myrailroads disp=shape,cat,dir

    # insert nodes at 1000m distance (max)
    v.split railroads out=myrailroads_split length=1000
    d.vect myrailroads_split disp=shape,topo

## SEE ALSO
