d.shade - Drapes a color raster over an shaded relief or aspect map.

       Unknown; updated to GRASS 5.7 by Michael Barton

d.shade  will  drape  a color raster map over a shaded relief map.  In place of shaded relief, any raster
       map can be used including aspect or slope.  The color raster map is usually an elevation raster map  with
       colorful  color  table  (as  opposed  to  gray  scale  color  table). However, any raster map can be used
       including categorical raster maps.

       The advantage of this module is that it allows visualizing the shaded map without a need to create a  new
       raster  which would combine both.  Comparing to creating shaded relief as semi-transparent overlay on the
       color raster map, this module gives result with more saturated colors.

       The input for this module can be created for example using r.slope.aspect or r.relief
       .

       In this example, the aspect map in the North Carolina sample dataset is used to hillshade  the  elevation
       map:
       g.region raster=aspect -p
       d.mon wx0
       d.shade shade=aspect color=elevation

       North Carolina dataset elevation map In this next example, a shaded relief raster map is created and used
       to create a colorized hillshade:
       g.region raster=elevation
       r.relief input=elevation output=elevation_shaded_relief
       d.mon wx1
       d.shade shade=elevation_shaded_relief color=elevation
       Interesting visualizations can be created using different color tables  for  elevation  raster  map,  for
       example using haxby color table.
