[GRASS-user] Precipitation color table?

GRASS GRASS user

hi,

anyone having a nice precipitation color table (e.g., range from 0mm to 2000mm)?
I would like to nicely visualize data from the Global Precipitation Climatology
Project (GPCP, [1]):
ftp://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/1dd/

Could be a nice addon for r.colors.

thanks,
Markus

you might find some nice ones here:
  http://sview01.wiredworkplace.net/pub/cpt-city/

convert those .cpt (ie GMT) color rules to something suitable for r.colors
with the r.cpt2grass addon script.

or maybe one of the color scales here do the trick:

I have converted a couple of those to GRASS r.colors rules files, here:
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/raster/r.colors.tools/palettes

conversion script are given in the SVN log messages of those if you would
like to convert the euphotic depth rules. By the look of it their version
of NDVI is staged and would best be converted by hand.
