d.shade will drape a color raster map over a shaded relief map.
In place of shaded relief, any raster map can be used including aspect or slope.
The color raster map is usually an elevation raster map with colorful color
table (as opposed to gray scale color table). However, any raster map can be
used including categorical raster maps.
The advantage of this module is that it allows visualizing the shaded map
without a need to create a new raster which would combine both.
Comparing to creating shaded relief as semi-transparent overlay on
the color raster map, this module gives result with more saturated colors.
The input for this module can be created for example using
r.slope.aspect or
r.relief
.
Refer to the
d.his help page for more details;
d.shade is simply a frontend to that module.
In this example, the
aspect map in the North Carolina sample
dataset location is used to hillshade the
elevation map:
g.region raster=aspect -p
d.mon wx0
d.shade shade=aspect color=elevation

to elevation raster map from North Carolina dataset elevation map
In this next example, a shaded relief raster map is created
and used to create a colorized hillshade:
g.region raster=elevation
r.relief input=elevation output=elevation_shaded_relief
d.mon wx1
d.shade shade=elevation_shaded_relief color=elevation
Interesting visualizations can be created using different color tables for
elevation raster map, for example using
haxby color table.
