t.vect.export exports a space time vector dataset (stvds) to a tar archive as either GML (using v.out.ogr) or GRASS pack files. In addition to the pack or GML files, several metadata files are also created in the archive that describe the temporal layout. All time stamps are stored in the file "list.txt", for each map one row. The name of the map, the start time and the end time are written. In case of a time instance, the start time is equal to the end time. The "init.txt" file stores the temporal type, the number of maps, the chosen export format and some other metadata. The "proj.txt" file stores the projection information as a proj4 string of the location the space time vector dataset was exported from. The file "readme.txt" describes the file format. The output of v.info for each vector map in the space time dataset is stored in "metadata.txt".
The tar archive can be compressed using the compress option. Gzip and bzip2 (default) are available. A where option can be specified, to export only a subset of the space time dataset. Archives exported with t.vect.export can be imported with t.vect.import.
The name of output file has to carry the suffix of the archive type, the following suffix can be used:
In this example, five vector maps are created and registered in a
single space time vector dataset named random_locations. Each vector
map represents random locations within the boundary of the state taken at 1
month intervals.
