NAME

d.leg.thin - improved version of d.legend that allows:
- Thinning the categories to be represented in the legend
- Displaying a continuous gradient of all categories in the legend
- Interactive mouse placement of the smooth gradient box

Usage:

d.leg.thin [-nsm] map=name [color=name] [lines=value] [thin=value]

Flags:

-n Do not show category values

-s Draw smooth gradient

-m Use mouse to size & place legend (only when -s is specified)

Parameters:

map Name of raster map

color Sets the legend's text color
options: red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,white,black,brown, magenta,aqua,gray,grey
default: white

lines Number of text lines (useful for truncating long legends)
options: 0-1000
default: 0

thin Thinning factor (thin=10 gives cats 0,10,20...)
options: 0-1000
default: 1

NOTE

Note that when using the mouse to size & place the smooth legend, if you make a horizontal box the values run from left to right and no category values are printed (you may want to use d.label for that).
