NAME

r3.colors - Creates/modifies the color table associated with a 3D raster map.

KEYWORDS

raster3d, color table

SYNOPSIS

r3.colors
r3.colors --help
r3.colors [-rwlngae] [map=name[,name,...]] [file=name] [color=style] [raster=name] [raster_3d=name] [rules=name] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-r
Remove existing color table
-w
Only write new color table if it does not already exist
-l
List available rules then exit
-n
Invert colors
-g
Logarithmic scaling
-a
Logarithmic-absolute scaling
-e
Histogram equalization
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

map=name[,name,...]
Name of 3D raster map(s)
file=name
Input file with one map name per line
Input map names can be defined in an input file in case a large amount of maps must be specified. This option is mutual exclusive to the map option.

DESCRIPTION

r3.colors has exactly the same functionality as r.colors but for 3D raster maps. Please refer to r.colors.

EXAMPLES

r3.colors map=volume_1 color=gyr
