d.rgb help

d.rgb [-ox] red=name green=name blue=name [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-o

Overlay (non-null values only)

-x

Don't add to list of commands in monitor

--verbose

Verbose module output

--quiet

Quiet module output

Parameters:

red=name

Name of raster map to be used for 'red'

green=name

Name of raster map to be used for 'green'

blue=name

Name of raster map to be used for 'blue'

RGB stands for red, green, and blue. This program visually combines three raster map layers to form a color image. For each layer, the corresponding component from the layer's color table is used (e.g. for the red layer, the red component is used, and so on). In general, the layers should use a grey-scale color table.

Flags:

-o

Overlay the resulting raster map layer onto whatever is already displayed in the active graphics frame. Any no-data areas in any of the named raster maps will seem transparent, and reveal the underlying image previously displayed in the graphics frame. If the -o flag is set, only cells containing non-null values will be displayed from the overlaid raster map. All other areas (i.e., the portions of the overlaid map that contain null values) will leave the underlying display untouched.

Parameters:

red=name

Name of raster map layer to be used for RED component.

green=name

Name of raster map layer to be used for GREEN component.

blue=name

Name of raster map layer to be used for BLUE component.

This is a new version of d.rgb, which sends the data to the graphics monitor in true-color RGB format. Unlike the previous version, it does not attempt to quantize the combined image into a fixed number of colors. Nor does it have an option to generate a composite layer. The image and raster map layers will not display properly if the graphics device does not have a reasonable sampling of the RGB color-space.

If color quality of satellite image color composites seems to appear poor, run r.colors on the selected satellite channels.

Example:

r.info -r image.1

min=0

max=255

r.colors map=image.1 color=rules << EOF

0 black

255 white

EOF

r.colors map=image.2 rast=image.1

r.colors map=image.3 rast=image.1

Note: Future GRASS versions may do this for you automatically.

To write out the color composite to a R/G/B raster maps, use r.composite.
