       _d_._v_e_c_t_._l_a_b_e_l_s performs automated placement of labels for a
       GRASS  _v_e_c_t_o_r _m_a_p on the current graphics monitor.  Labels
       can be chosen  from  the  category  value  (numerical),	a
       string  attribute,  or  the  labels positions coordinates.
       The default uses the first string attribute. The user  may
       select the color and sizing of the labels. Labels are only
       drawn within the current region.


       This program can  be  run  non-interactively  or  interac-
       tively.	 If the user gives the name of a GRASS _v_e_c_t_o_r _m_a_p
       and (optionally) any other parameters, the command will be
       run  non-interactively.	 Any  parameter  left unspecified
       will be set to its default  value  (see	below).  Alterna-
       tively,	the  user  can	type _d_._v_e_c_t_._l_a_b_e_l_s at the command
       line and be prompted for the parameter  values  using  the
       standard GRASS _p_a_r_s_e_r interface.
