✨ paint labels ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the paint labels topic page — it's the GRASS GIS manual, manual name topic_paint_labels(1), and it's literally a lil curated collection of the modules that put text labels on your maps. think of it as a group chat where every member is a tool that draws words. 💅

🎀 the modules (aka the squad)

• d.labels — Displays text labels (created with v.label) to the active frame on the graphics monitor. 🖥️✨ it's the one that actually shows them off, like the friend who posts the fit.
• v.label — Creates paint labels for a vector map from attached attributes. 🏷️ attributes in, labels out, no cap.
• v.label.sa — Create optimally placed labels for vector map(s). 👑 "sa" is giving smart-placement energy — it figures out the best spots so your map doesn't look a mess.

🫶 the cute sign-off

that's the whole page, fr fr. this came from the GRASS GIS 8.4.2 Reference Manual — © 2003-2025 GRASS Development Team. and the footer said GRASS 8.4.2 with topic_paint_labels(1), so there you go. now go label something iconic. 💖🌸🧚
