[GRASS-user] help setting the color of DEM

hi all,
Thanks to the forum and all the help we keep getting from you all.
I recently gtot through with generating a DEM using v.surf.rst . I donot have any say on the colors.
The colors are bright green , yellow … Could I change it to something better.
Do i need to do it at the elevation raster lever ?
Another issue is how to drape a satellite imagery on the DEM…
Thanks

Hi,

to change colors of raster map, you need to use r.colors. Several
predefined color tables are available, "elevation" and "terrain"
between them.

To display satelite image on the elevation map (or to get "plastic"
feeling of a satelit image), you can use:

1) shaded relief map
r.shaded.relief map=elevation shadedmap=shade
d.his h=satelite i=shade

2) nviz module
nviz elev=elevation color=satelite

hope it helps
