NAME
p.colors - Allows the user to develop a color table that associates
map categories with user-specified printer colors.
(GRASS Hardcopy Output Program)
SYNOPSIS
p.colors
DESCRIPTION
This function allows the user to modify a color table for a
raster map layer, by assigning colors to the categories in
the raster map layer based on printer color numbers
(instead of red, green, blue percentages).
The user will need to have the printer color chart
available to properly select the colors (see manual entry
for p.chart).
The p.colors function allows the user to exercise
perfect control over the colors which appear in the
hardcopy image.
NOTES
If the user assigns a printer color number outside of the
printer's range, p.colors will not complain, but
will not save the out-of-range printer color number to the
raster map layer's color table.
This command modifies the color table associated with a map
layer, and will therefore also affect the colors in which a
map layer is displayed on the user's graphics monitor.
(See map color table files stored under $LOCATION/colr and
$LOCATION/colr2.)
