DESCRIPTION

       r.support  allows  the  user  to create and/or edit raster map support information. Editing of raster map
       color tables, category labels, header, history, semantic label elements and title is supported.  Category
       labels can also be copied from another raster map.

   Raster band management
       Raster semantic label concept is similar to dimension name in other GIS and remote sensing  applications.
       Most  common usage will be assigning a remote sensing platform sensor band ID to the raster, although any
       identifier is supported. Raster semantic label is suggested to work with imagery classification tools.

EXAMPLES

       These examples are based on the North Carolina dataset, more specifically the landuse raster  map.   Copy
       the landuse map to the current mapset
       g.copy raster=landuse,my_landuse

   Update statistics
       r.support -s map=my_landuse

   Update Title
       r.support map=my_landuse title="Landuse copied"

   Append to History Metadata
       r.support map=my_landuse history="Copied from PERMANENT mapset"

   Update Units Display
       r.support map=my_landuse units=meter

   Set semantic label
       Note: landuse map doesn’t confirm to CORINE specification. This is an example only.
       r.support map=my_landuse semantic_label=CORINE_LULC

NOTES

       If  metadata  options  such as title or history are given the module will run  non-interactively. If only
       the map name is given r.support will run interactively within a terminal  shell  and  the  user  with  be
       prompted for input.

       Freeform  metadata  information  is stored in a "hist" file which may be appended to by using the history
       option. Currently this is limited to 50 lines of text with a maximum line length of  78  characters.  Any
       input  larger  than  this  will  be  wrapped  to  the next line.  All other metadata strings available as
       standard options are limited to 79 characters.
