NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

d.sites.label displays labels for a GRASS site_lists on the current graphics monitor. Labels can be chosen from the category value, a double attribute or a string attribute, the coordinates, or a dimension. The default uses the first string attribute. The index is a number greater than zero for the attribute to use as a label. The user may select the position, 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 site_lists 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.sites.label at the command line and be prompted for the parameter values using the standard GRASS parser interface.
