NAME
d.paint.labels -
Displays text labels formatted for use with GRASS paint
(p.labels,
p.map)
output to the active frame on the graphics monitor.
(GRASS Display Program)
SYNOPSIS
d.paint.labels
d.paint.labels help
d.paint.labels file=name
DESCRIPTION
d.paint.labels displays the paint label
file name in the active display frame on the
graphics monitor. This file can be generated by the
labels option in the
p.labels
program, the
d.labels
program, or simply created by the user
as an ASCII file (using a text editor like vi)
and placed in the appropriate /paint/labels directory under the
user's current mapset and location (i.e., under $LOCATION/paint/labels).
OPTIONS
Parameter:
- file=name
- Name of ASCII file containing paint labels.
This program can be run either non-interactively or interactively.
If the user specifies the name of a paint labels file on the command line,
the program will run without interacting with the user.
Alternately, the user can type simply d.paint.labels on the
command line; in this case, the program will prompt the user for
the name of a paint labels file using the standard GRASS
parser interface.
NOTES
Some of the information stored in the label
file is unused by d.paint.labels.
The unused information found in a label file is printed to standard output.
This extra information is used by such programs as
p.labels
and p.map.
