NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

d.rast.labels performs automated placement of labels for a GRASS raster map on the current graphics monitor. Labels can be chosen from the category value (numerical), a string attribute, or the labels positions coordinates. The default uses the first string attribute. The user may select the color and sizing of the labels. Labels are only drawn within the current region.

This program can be run non-interactively or interactively. If the user gives the name of a GRASS raster map and (optionally) any other parameters, the command will be run non-interactively. Any parameter left unspecified will be set to its default value (see below). Alternatively, the user can type d.rast.labels at the command line and be prompted for the parameter values using the standard GRASS parser interface.

-s

-m
