NAME
       d.to.rast  - Saves the contents of the active display monitor to a raster map.


KEYWORDS
       display, export, raster


SYNOPSIS
       d.to.rast
       d.to.rast --help
       d.to.rast output=name  [--overwrite]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       output=name [required]
           Name for output raster map


DESCRIPTION
       d.to.rast  saves  the content of the currently selected monitor into a raster map. The active monitor can
       be selected with d.mon. d.to.rast can be run from GUI Console tab, too. This module is not  sensitive  to
       computational region settings.


EXAMPLE
       We  combine  different  raster and vector map layers to create a composite layer which can be draped over
       elevation in 3D view.  First, we add a couple of maps to layer manager:
       g.region raster=elevation
       d.rast map=elevation
       d.rast map=lakes
       d.vect map=roadsmajor width=4
       d.vect map=roadsmajor width=2 color=yellow
       # create a raster map from the display
       d.to.rast output=composite

       Then uncheck all layers except for elevation and switch to 3D view.  In Data tab, set color  map  to  the
       newly created composite map.
