SYNOPSIS

       d.labels
       d.labels help
       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.
