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.
