DESCRIPTION

31       d.labels displays a paint label file in the active display frame on the
32       graphics  monitor.  Each label has components which determine the text,
33       the location of the text on the image, its size, and the background for
34       the text. This file can be generated with the v.label program or simply
35       created by the user as an ASCII file (using a text editor)  and  placed
36       in  the appropriate directory under the user's current mapset and loca‐
37       tion (i.e. $MAPSET/paint/labels).

NOTES

40       Some of the information stored in the label file is unused by d.labels.
41       This extra information is used by such programs as ps.map.
42
43       If a FreeType/TrueType font is set with d.font.freetype, the font spec‐
44       ified in the labels file will be ignored.
45
46       This module was formerly known as d.paint.labels.  The the old  version
47       of d.labels from GRASS 5, which provided interactive placement and mod‐
48       ification of paint labels, still needs to have its functionality merged
49       into this module.
