## NAME

t.vect.list.py - Lists registered maps of a space time vector dataset.

## KEYWORDS

temporal, map management, vector, list, time

## SYNOPSIS

t.vect.list.py
t.vect.list.py --help
t.vect.list.py [-u] input=name [order=string[,string,...]] [columns=string[,string,...]] [where=sql_query] [method=string] [separator=character] [output=name] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

### Flags:

-u
  Suppress printing of column names
--overwrite
  Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
  Print usage summary
--verbose
  Verbose module output
--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

input=name [required]
  Name of the input space time vector dataset
order=string[,string,...]
  Sort the space time dataset by category
  Options: id, name, layer, creator, mapset, temporal_type, creation_time, start_time, end_time, north, south, west, east, points, lines, boundaries, centroids, faces, kernels, primitives, nodes, areas, islands, holes, volumes
  Default: start_time
columns=string[,string,...]
  Columns to be printed to stdout
  Options: id, name, layer, creator, mapset, temporal_type, creation_time, start_time, end_time, north, south, west, east, points, lines, boundaries, centroids, faces, kernels, primitives, nodes, areas, islands, holes, volumes
  Default: name,layer,mapset,start_time,end_time
where=sql_query
  WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword used in the temporal GIS framework
  Example: start_time > '2001-01-01 12:30:00'
method=string
  Method used for data listing
  Options: cols, comma, delta, deltagaps, gran
  Default: cols
separator=character
  Field separator character between the output columns
  Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
  Default: pipe
output=name
  Name for output file

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides the same functionality as t.rast.list, the only difference is the vector map layer metadata.

## EXAMPLE

### Default query

This example show a relative space time vector dataset with the first three maps with a range of years, instead the last five are valid only for one year:

    t.vect.list shoreline@shoreline
    name|layer|mapset|start_time|end_time
    shoreline_1849_1873|None|shoreline|1849|1873
    shoreline_1925_1946|None|shoreline|1925|1946
    shoreline_1970_1988|None|shoreline|1970|1988
    shoreline_1997|None|shoreline|1997|None
    shoreline_1998|None|shoreline|1998|None
    shoreline_2003|None|shoreline|2003|None
    shoreline_2004|None|shoreline|2004|None
    shoreline_2009|None|shoreline|2009|None

### Using method option

Method option is able to show vector in different way. By default cols value is used, the value deltagaps will print the delta between maps and also the gaps if they exist (like in this example).

    t.vect.list method=deltagaps input=shoreline
    id|name|layer|mapset|start_time|end_time|interval_length|distance_from_begin
    shoreline_1849_1873@shoreline|shoreline_1849_1873|None|shoreline|1849|1873|24|0
    None|None|None|None|1873|1925|52|24
    shoreline_1925_1946@shoreline|shoreline_1925_1946|None|shoreline|1925|1946|21|76
    None|None|None|None|1946|1970|24|97
    shoreline_1970_1988@shoreline|shoreline_1970_1988|None|shoreline|1970|1988|18|121
    None|None|None|None|1988|1997|9|139
    shoreline_1997@shoreline|shoreline_1997|None|shoreline|1997|None|None|148
    None|None|None|None|1997|1998|1|148
    shoreline_1998@shoreline|shoreline_1998|None|shoreline|1998|None|None|149
    None|None|None|None|1998|2003|5|149
    shoreline_2003@shoreline|shoreline_2003|None|shoreline|2003|None|None|154
    None|None|None|None|2003|2004|1|154
    shoreline_2004@shoreline|shoreline_2004|None|shoreline|2004|None|None|155
    None|None|None|None|2004|2009|5|155
    shoreline_2009@shoreline|shoreline_2009|None|shoreline|2009|None|None|160
