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 [-rwldngae] [map=name[,name,...]] [file=name] [color=style] [raster=name] [raster_3d=name] [rules=name] [offset=float] [scale=float] [--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
-d
List available rules with description then exit
If a color rule is given, only this rule is listed
-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.
