DESCRIPTION
d.rast.leg shows a raster map along with its legend. It first clears
the entire screen, then divides it into a main (left) and a minor
(right) frames, and displays a raster map in the main frame and the map
legend in the minor frame. The main frame remains active when the pro-
gram finishes.
NOTES
The legend may be flipped with the -f flag.
If the lines parameter is not given then the legend frame will display
as many lines as number of categories in the map, otherwise, it will
display the first lines minus 1 categories with the rest being trun-
cated.
The user may adjust the lines parameter or the size of graphics window
to get an appropriate result.
The user may specify a second raster map with the raster parameter from
which the legend is generated. This is useful to visualize (time) se-
ries of raster maps with a common static legend instead of the default
dynamic legend.
To remove all frames when clearing the display, use d.erase -f.
EXAMPLE
In this example, the polar diagram of the ’aspect’ angle map in the
North Carolina sample dataset location is generated:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p
d.rast.leg landclass96
