Hello Everyone,

I have successfully installed GRASS6.0 on my system and have successfully added modified modules of
GRASS5.3 to GRASS6.0
But I cant find any d.label command in the GRASS6.0 source.
Is there no d.label command in GRASS6.0 ?
or is the name of that command changed.

Can anyone tell me?

We have made a list in the GRASS WIKI:

GRASS 5.3 modules porting status to 6.0
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/twiki/bin/view/GRASS/ModulePortingList#Display_modules
-> d.label - functionality pretty much covered by d.text

Hope this helps

In GRASS 6.1-cvs I have updated v.label, d.paint.labels, and ps.map's
"labels" instruction to the point where I think it all works pretty
well. In 6.0 the above commands will work but setting font size, e.g.,
might be a pain.

Fine tune placement by tweaking the offsets in the labels file with a
text editor.

If no one else gets to it first I'll update the wiki when I return to
civilization in a few weeks time.

Is there anyalternative command to d.rast.labels ?

This isn't like d.rast.num or d.rast.arrow, but could be with a
r.to.vect + v.label step.

Hamish

Since d.rast.labels command isnt there in GRASS6.0 , as mentioned
above i used r.to.vect and the v.label command. The following was the
output

..

How can i display the labels on the monitor?

d.paint.labels

Am i on the the right path.

yes!
