okay bestie, welcome to the GRASS GIS User's Manual page for wxGUI.dbmgr(1) π β yes, the manual name is right there in the title, we're doing this properly.
πΈ NAME πΈ
wxGUI Attribute Table Manager β your lil bestie for wrangling attribute tables π«Ά
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
The Attribute Table Manager is a wxGUI component, and its whole job is to query, edit, and manage attribute data for vector maps. Lowkey iconic. π
You launch it by clicking on the icon in the toolbar β that's it, that's the whole vibe. It's also available as a stand-alone module called g.gui.dbmgr. No cap. π
So what does the Attribute Table Manager actually let you do?? Buckle up: π
- browse attribute data of vector map, perform SQL select statements π
- modify attribute data, insert new records to attribute table, delete existing records ποΈ
- highlight selected items in the Map Display Window β¨
- extract selected items into a new vector map π¦
- modify attribute table - add, drop, rename columns π
- modify vector map DB connection settings - add, remove or modify layers π§
