Parameters:
hue=name [required]
Name of input raster map (hue)
intensity=name [required]
Name of input raster map (intensity)
saturation=name [required]
Name of input raster map (saturation)

blue=name [required]
Name for output raster map (blue)
DESCRIPTION
i.his.rgb is an image processing program that processes three input
raster map layers as hue, intensity and saturation components and pro-
duces three output raster map layers representing the red, green and
blue components of this data. The output raster map layers are created
by a standard hue-intensity-saturation (HIS) to red-green-blue (RGB)
color transformation. Each output raster map layer is given a linear
gray scale color table. The current geographic region and mask set-
tings are respected.
NOTES
It is not possible to process three bands with i.his.rgb and then ex-
actly recover the original bands with i.rgb.his. This is due to loss
of precision because of integer computations and rounding. Tests have
shown that more than 70% of the original cell values will be reproduced
exactly after transformation in both directions and that 99% will be
within plus or minus 1. A few cell values may differ significantly
from their original values.
