       _d_._g_r_i_d overlays a grid of user-defined size and	color  in
       the  active  display  frame  on the graphics monitor.  The
       grid will overlay, not  overwrite,  the	contents  of  the
       active display frame.


       _d_._g_r_i_d  can be run non-interactively or interactively.  If
       the user specifies the grid _s_i_z_e and (optionally) the grid
       _c_o_l_o_r  on the command line the program will run non-inter-
       actively; if no grid _c_o_l_o_r is given the	default  will  be
       used.  Alternately, the user may simply type dd..ggrriidd on the
       command line; in this case, the program	will  prompt  the
       user  for  parameter  values using the standard GRASS user
       interface described in the manual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r_.

       ssiizzee==_v_a_l_u_e
	      Size of grid to be  drawn  in  the  active  display
	      frame,  in current map coordinate system units.  It
	      should be noted that, depending on the scale of the
	      map  layer  displayed  in  this frame, the grid may
	      fall outside the user's viewing range.
	      Options: 0-100000

       ccoolloorr==_n_a_m_e
	      Sets the current grid color to _n_a_m_e.
	      Options: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,  indigo,
	      violet, magenta, brown, gray, white, and black.
	      Default: _g_r_a_y

       oorriiggiinn=_e_a_s_t_i_n_g_,_n_o_r_t_h_i_n_g
	      Lines  of  the  grid  pass through this coordinate.
	      The coordinate  need  not  be  within  the  current
	      frame.


NNOOTTEESS
       _d_._g_r_i_d  will  not  erase  grids	already  displayed in the
       active graphics display frame by previous  invocations  of
       _d_._g_r_i_d;	multiple  invocations  of  _d_._g_r_i_d  will therefore
       result in the drawing of multiple grids inside the  active
       graphics frame.	(A command like _d_._e_r_a_s_e, which erases the
       entire contents of the active display frame, must  be  run
       to erase previously drawn grids from the display frame.)


       Currently, the grid size can only be drawn in the units of
       the map coordinate system used by the current GRASS  loca-
       tion.
