Furthemore, the output map contains the shortest path between each cat, tcat pair. Each path consists of several lines. If a line is on the shortest path from a point then the category of this point is assigned to the line. Note that every line may contain more than one category value since a single line may be on the shortest path for more than one from feature. And so the shortest paths can be easily obtained by querying lines with corresponding category number. Alternatively, unique paths can be created with the -l flag where each path will be a separate single line in the output.
The costs of arcs in forward and backward direction are specified by arc_column and arc_backward_column columns respectively. If arc_backward_column is not given, the same cost is used in both directions.
v.net.distance will not work if you are trying to find the nearest neighbors within a group of nodes, i.e. where to and from are the same set of nodes, as the closest node will be the node itself and the result will be zero-length paths. In order to find nearest neighbors within a group of nodes, you can either loop through each node as to and all other nodes as from or create a complete distance matrix with v.net.allpairs and select the lowest non-zero distance for each node.
Streets are grey lines, schools are green circles, hospitals are red crosses, shortest paths are blue lines:
