NAME

d.rast.num - Overlays cell category values on a raster map layer displayed to the graphics monitor.
(GRASS Display Program)

SYNOPSIS

d.rast.num
d.rast.num help
d.rast.num [map=name] [grid_color=name]

DESCRIPTION

d.rast.num overlays cell category values onto a raster map layer displayed to the user's graphics monitor. Category values will be displayed in white and/or black, based on the colors in which underlying cells are displayed. A grid outlining each map cell will also be overlain in a user-specified color.

The user should run d.rast to display the desired map layer on the graphics monitor before running this program.

d.rast.num can be run non-interactively or interactively. If the user specifies the map whose category values are to be displayed and/or the grid color on the command line, the program will run non-interactively. Alternately, the user may simply type d.rast.num on the command line; in this case, the program will prompt the user for parameter values using the standard GRASS user interface described in the manual entry for parser . If no grid color is given the default will be used. If no map layer is specified, the program will use whatever raster map layer is currently displayed in the active frame on the graphics monitor.

OPTIONS

Parameters:

map=name
Name of existing raster map layer whose category values will be displayed.
Default: (whatever raster map layer is currently displayed)
grid_color=name
Color in which an overlain grid will be displayed.
Options: white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, magenta, brown, gray, black .
Default: gray

NOTES

The user is advised to set the current region to a relatively small area (i.e., less than 100 rows by 100 columns); otherwise, the individual cells being displayed will be small and the category value associated with each will be difficult to see.
