GRASS GIS manual: d.shadedmap

Note: A new GRASS GIS stable version has been released: GRASS GIS 7. Go directly to the new manual page here

NAME

d.shadedmap - Drapes a color raster over a shaded relief map using d.his.

KEYWORDS

SYNOPSIS

d.shadedmap
d.shadedmap help
d.shadedmap reliefmap=string drapemap=string [brighten=integer] [output=name] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

reliefmap=string: Name of shaded relief or aspect map
drapemap=string: Name of raster to drape over relief map
brighten=integer: Percent to brighten; Options: -99-99; Default: 0
output=name: Create raster map from result (optional)

DESCRIPTION

d.shadedmap will drape a color raster map over a shaded relief map.

NOTES

Refer to the d.his help page for more details; d.shadedmap is simply a frontend to that module.

If the output option is given the rendering will be written to a new raster map. The output map does not respect the brighten parameter.

EXAMPLES

In this example, the aspect map in the North Carolina sample dataset location is used to hillshade the elevation map:

g.region rast=aspect -p
d.shadedmap reliefmap=aspect drapemap=elevation

In this next example, a shaded relief raster map is created in the Spearfish sample dataset and used to create a colorized hillshade raster map for later use:

g.region rast=elevation.10m
r.colors -e map=elevation.10m color=haxby
r.shaded.relief elevation.10m

d.shadedmap reliefmap=elevation.10m.shade drapemap=elevation.10m \
   output=elevation.10m.shade.colorized

r.colors -r map=elevation.10m
