d.what.rast(1grass)

✨ d.what.rast ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is d.what.rast, part of the GRASS User's Manual — it's the little diva that lets you poke at raster map layers interactively and find out what's actually there at the spots you click 🎀

KEYWORDS: display, vector 🦋

---

💅 SYNOPSIS

d.what.rast
d.what.rast --help
d.what.rast map=name[,name,...]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]
[--ui]

🎀 Flags:

• --help — prints the usage summary, like a lil recap before the exam 📝
• --verbose — verbose module output, aka it tells you everything 👀
• --quiet — quiet module output, aka it says nothing and minds its business 🤫
• --ui — forces the GUI dialog to launch, no cap 🖥️✨

🍓 Parameters:

• map=name[,name,...] [required] — the name of the input raster map(s). you gotta give it this one, it's not optional bestie 🙈

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

so here's the vibe: d.what.rast outputs the category value(s) that go with the location(s) you pick, in the raster map layer(s) you pick 🎯 you choose the spots, it tells you what category lives there. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

and if you wanna pick which monitor is the active one? that's a whole separate queen — use d.mon for that 💅
