DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

       Some of the information stored in the label  file  is  unused  by  d.labels.   This  extra
       information is used by such programs as ps.map.

       This  module  was  formerly known as d.paint.labels.  The the old version of d.labels from
       GRASS 5, which provided interactive placement and  modification  of  paint  labels,  still
       needs to have its functionality merged into this module.
