NAME
       r.shade  - Drapes a color raster over an shaded relief or aspect map.

KEYWORDS
       raster, elevation, relief, hillshade, visualization

SYNOPSIS
       r.shade
       r.shade --help
       r.shade  [-c]  shade=name  color=name  output=name   [brighten=integer]
       [bgcolor=name]    [--overwrite]    [--help]    [--verbose]    [--quiet]
       [--ui]

   Flags:
       -c
           Use colors from color tables for NULL values

       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       shade=name [required]
           Name of shaded relief or aspect raster map

       color=name [required]
           Name of raster to drape over relief raster map
           Typically, this raster is elevation or other colorful raster

       output=name [required]
           Name of shaded raster map

       brighten=integer
           Percent to brighten
           Options: -99-99
           Default: 0

       bgcolor=name
           Color to use instead of NULL values
           Either a standard color name, R:G:B triplet, or "none"

DESCRIPTION
       r.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 re-
       sult is a raster map created from elevation and the shade raster.

       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.as-
       pect or r.relief.

       NULL values are propagated by default, so  if  any  of  the  two  input
       rasters  contains NULL cell NULL will be also in the output. If -c flag
       is used and cell in color raster is NULL, just shade color is used.  If
       cell  in shade raster is NULL, shading effect is not applied and origi-
       nal colors are used. If bgcolor option is used, NULL value in any input
       raster will be in the output replaced by the given color.

NOTES
       Refer to the r.his help page for more details; r.shade is a frontend to
       that module with addition of brightness support similar to one provided
       by  d.shade.  However, note that the brightness is not implemenented in
       the same way as  for  d.shade  and  the  results  might  be  different.
       r.shade is using method described in r.his manual page.

EXAMPLES
       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
       r.shade shade=aspect color=elevation output=elevation_aspect_shaded
       d.mon wx0
       d.rast elevation_aspect_shaded
       In this next example, a shaded relief raster map is created and used to
       create a colorized hillshade raster map for later use:
       g.region raster=elevation
       r.relief input=elevation output=elevation_shaded_relief
       r.shade shade=elevation_shaded_relief color=elevation \
           output=elevation_relief_shaded
       d.mon wx1
       d.rast elevation_relief_shaded
       Interesting  visualizations can be created using different color tables
       for elevation raster map, for example using haxby color table.
