Most of them can already be found there, you just have to hunt for them.

If there's a new set of color rules which are not in [[QGIS]], you can prepare a .svg palette file for use with QGIS using the following commands. Consider to then open a ticket in the QGIS issue tracker asking them to add it (and attach the file of course to save someone some work :)

You can then use the *.gcolors file with the {{Cmd|r.colors}} rules= option (or set the color rules directly from the ''r.cpt2grass'' module).

Using GRASS color palettes in QGIS

Most of them can already be found there, you just have to hunt for them. In the raster layer properties window's style tab, select "Singleband pseudocolor" as the type, "Generate new color map", "New color ramp", for ramp type choose "cpt-city", change to the "Sort by Author" tab, and look for "grass". They can also be found in the QGIS section cpt-city's QGIS theme.

If there's a new set of color rules which are not in QGIS, you can prepare a .svg palette file for use with QGIS using the following commands. Consider to then open a ticket in the QGIS issue tracker asking them to add it (and attach the file of course to save someone some work :)

You will need the cptsvg command line tool from cptutils and the GRASS 6 addon module r.out.gmt.

Examples:

 g.region n=100 s=0 w=0 e=100 res=1
 r.mapcalc "dummy = row()"
 
 r.colors dummy color=roygbiv
 r.out.gmt dummy out=roygbiv
 rm roygbiv.grd
 cptsvg --geometry=300x45 -o roygbiv.svg -v roygbiv.cpt
 
 r.colors dummy rules=~/grass/svn/grass-addons/grass6/raster/r.colors.tools/palettes/palette_sst.gcolors
 r.out.gmt dummy out=palette_sst
 rm palette_sst.grd
 cptsvg --geometry=300x45 -o palette_sst.svg -v palette_sst.cpt

You can then copy the resulting .svg file into /usr/share/qgis/resources/cpt-city-qgis-min/grass/ on Linux (or C:\Program Files\QGIS VERSION\apps\qgis\resources\cpt-city-qgis-min\grass\ on MS Windows).

Loading QGIS color palettes into GRASS

The GRASS GIS addon module r.cpt2grass can be used after the svgx command line program from the cptutils package, using GMT's .cpt color table format as a go-between:

 svgx --output dkbluered.cpt --type cpt  /usr/share/qgis/resources/cpt-city-qgis-min/h5/dkbluered.svg
 r.cpt2grass in=dkbluered.cpt output=dkbluered.gcolors

You can then use the *.gcolors file with the r.colors rules= option (or set the color rules directly from the r.cpt2grass module).
