DESCRIPTION
       This program combines three raster maps to form a  composite  RGB  map.
       For  each  input  map layer, the corresponding component from the map’s
       color table is used (e.g. for the red map, the red component  is  used,
       and so on). In general, the maps should use a grey-scale color table.

NOTES
       The  default  number  of intensity levels for each component is 32, re-
       sulting in a total of 32768 possible colors (equivalent to 15 bits  per
       pixel).  If significantly more levels than this are used, not only will
       r.composite take longer to run, but displaying the resulting layer with
       d.rast will also be significantly slower.

       Floyd-Steinberg dithering is optionally used with the -d flag.

EXAMPLES
   RGB composite of three satellite bands
       Color composite of a LANDSAT scene (North Carolina sample dataset):
       g.region raster=lsat7_2002_10
       r.composite blue=lsat7_2002_10 green=lsat7_2002_20 red=lsat7_2002_30 \
                   output=lsat7_2002_rgb

   RGB composite with dithering
       Creating  a  composite RGB raster using 32 color levels per layer, with
       dithering:
       r.composite -d red=elevation.r green=elevation.g blue=elevation.b \
                   output=elev.composite
