       d.labels [-i] labels=string  [minreg=float]   [maxreg=float]   [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -i
           Ignore rotation setting and draw horizontally

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       labels=string
           Name of label file

       minreg=float
           Minimum region size (diagonal) when labels are displayed

       maxreg=float
           Maximum region size (diagonal) when labels are displayed

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.
