Running d.his from the command line with d.mon x0 open results in the
display of a colorized shaded relief map. That same map displays in greys in
the wxGUI display. Running that command with d.mon closed, and the wxGUI
active throws an error: the module apparently needs to display the result in
d.mon and not the wxGUI.
With the GUI open, typing 'd.his' on the command line brings up the
module's dialog box, Filling in the required 'h_map' and optional 'i_map'
and trying to run the command produces the same error: there's no display
monitor available.
Two questions: Is there a way to create a colorized shaded relief map
(using r.colors does not produce equivalent results) since d.his does not
work with the GUI? Why does the GUI dialog box present if the module cannot
run in this environment?

In the Layer Manager windows of the wxGUI there’s a button “Add various raster layers”. One of the options is add shaded relief map. You choose the shade map (the ‘i’ in d.his) and the colored overlay (the ‘h’ component), and it gives the colored relief in the wxGUI display.

Good question…

Micha,
I don't find that button. I see File -> Map display -> Add raster and ..->
Add multiple rasters or vectors. The former does the same as ctrl-shift-r
(but does not produce the warning message box).
Neither lets me select the shaded relief and overlay that with the colored
source DEM. Unless I missed something simple.
Thanks,
Rich

Mea culpa! It's an icon button; I don't use those since I prefer either
the menus or keyboard shortcuts.
On what menu can that button be found?
