Andrew,
I could be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge there is no simple
method of labeling contours directly with a GRASS command. (e.g. a
modification of d.vect to also display labels) Three plausible
conclusions come to mind: 1) a fairly significant effort would have
to be made in changing the source code, 2) labelled contours are
considered "cartography" which is better suited to programs like
"mapgen", and/or 3) it has not made it to the top of any priority
list of GRASS improvements.
Perhaps someone else knows of a method.

Hi,
Can anyone give me information on how to get labels on contour
lines
after using r.contour? I can get a vector map of contour lines but
with
no labels, which isn't helping much.
Thanks in advance.
