# d.shadedmap(1grass)

Drapes a color raster over a shaded relief map using d.his.

## NAME

**d.shadedmap**  - Drapes a color raster over a shaded relief map using d.his.

## KEYWORDS

## SYNOPSIS

**d.shadedmap**\
 **d.shadedmap help**\
 **d.shadedmap reliefmap**=*string* **drapemap**=*string*  \[**brighten**=*integer*\]   \[**output**=*name*\]   \[--**overwrite**\]  \[--**verbose**\]  \[--**quiet**\]

### Flags:

- **--overwrite**

  Allow output files to overwrite existing files

- **--verbose**

  Verbose module output

- **--quiet**

  Quiet module output

### Parameters:

- **reliefmap**=*string*

  Name of shaded relief or aspect map

- **drapemap**=*string*

  Name of raster to drape over relief map

- **brighten**=*integer*

  Percent to brighten\
   Options: *-99-99*\
   Default: *0*

- **output**=*name*

  Create raster map from result (optional)

## DESCRIPTION

*d.shadedmap* will drape a color raster map over a shaded relief map.

## NOTES

Refer to the *d.his* help page for more details; *d.shadedmap* is simply a frontend to that module.

If the **output** option is given the rendering will be written to a new raster map. The **output** map does not respect the **brighten** parameter.

## EXAMPLES

In this example, the aspect map in the North Carolina sample dataset location is used to hillshade the elevation map:\
 `g.region rast=aspect -p`\
 `d.shadedmap reliefmap=aspect drapemap=elevation`\
 In this next example, a shaded relief raster map is created in the Spearfish sample dataset and used to create a colorized hillshade raster map for later use:\
 `g.region rast=elevation.10m`\
 `r.colors -e map=elevation.10m color=haxby`\
 `r.shaded.relief elevation.10m`\
\
 `d.shadedmap reliefmap=elevation.10m.shade drapemap=elevation.10m \`\
\
 `   output=elevation.10m.shade.colorized`\
\
 `r.colors -r map=elevation.10m`\
