DESCRIPTION

45       d.labels displays a paint label file in the active display frame on the
46       graphics monitor. Each label has components which determine  the  text,
47       the location of the text on the image, its size, and the background for
48       the text. This file can be generated with the v.label program or simply
49       created  by  the user as an ASCII file (using a text editor) and placed
50       in the appropriate directory under the user’s current mapset and  loca‐
51       tion (i.e. $MAPSET/paint/labels/).
52

NOTES

54       Some of the information stored in the label file is unused by d.labels.
55       This extra information is used by such programs as ps.map.
56
57       This module was formerly known as d.paint.labels.  The the old  version
58       of d.labels from GRASS 5, which provided interactive placement and mod‐
59       ification of paint labels, still needs to have its functionality merged
60       into this module.
