       _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 interactively.	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.
