 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 
-<em>v.fill.holes</em>
+<em>v.fill.holes</em> fills empty spaces inside areas (closed boundaries with centroids).
+Preseves only areas with centroids while areas without centroids
+which typically represent holes are removed.
+
 
 <h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
 
- (North Carolina sample dataset):
+The <em>lakes</em> vector map in the North Carolina sample dataset
+contains islands inside lakes. To demonstarate <em>v.fill.holes</em>
+we will first remove the islands and then we will fill the holes
+created in the lakes to get the whole perimeter of the lakes
+including islands.
+
+Remove the islands (results in holes):
 
 <div class="code"><pre>
-v.fill.holes input= output=
+v.extract input=lakes where="FTYPE != 'ROCK/ISLAND'" output=lakes_only
 </pre></div>
 
+Remove the holes:
+
+<div class="code"><pre>
+v.fill.holes input=lakes_only output=lakes_filled
+</pre></div>
+
