       _d_._v_e_c_t displays the user-named binary vector file in the active display
       frame  on  the  graphics  monitor, in the user-named color.  The vector
       file must already exist under a mapset listed  in  the  user's  current
       mapset search path.


       This  program can be run either non-interactively or interactively.  If
       the user gives the name of a binary vector  map	to  be	displayed  and
       (optionally) specifies a color for vector display, the program will run
       non-interactively. (If the user gives a vector map name but  no	vector
       color on the command line, the named vector map layer will be displayed
       in the default color _w_h_i_t_e.) Alternately,  the  user  can  simply  type
       dd..vveecctt  on  the command line; in this case, the program will prompt the
       user for parameter values.

       mmaapp==_n_a_m_e
	      Vector map layer to be displayed in the active display frame.
	      Must be binary vector file in the user's current	mapset	search
	      path.

       ccoolloorr==_n_a_m_e
	      Sets vector display color to _n_a_m_e.
	      Options:	white,	red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, vio-
	      let, magenta, brown, gray, and black
	      Default: _w_h_i_t_e

       ccaattnnuumm==vvaalluuee[[,,vvaalluuee,,......]]
	      Category vnumbers to be displayed


NNOOTTEESS
       To display text labels, the d.vect.labels module may be used.


       Selected vector polygons can be optionally filled with color.  To  fill
       all vector polygons with colors, d.area can be used.


       This program needs to be upgraded with features that would:

	       Allow  different  line  colors,	weights,  and  textures  to be
	      assigned to vectors with different category values.

	       Allow different fill patterns and  colors  to  be  assigned  to
	      areas.

	       Be linked with an associated program identifying these options.
