## MANAGEMENT OF DISPLAY FRAMES ON THE GRAPHICS DISPLAY MONITOR

After the user has started and selected a graphics monitor for output (using the d.mon command), the user can subdivide the monitor into different "frames", and display different GRASS outputs in each frame. (In past GRASS releases, "graphics frames" were referred to as "graphics windows"; the latter term is now obsolete.) For example, the GRASS program i.points divides the monitor into multiple frames to allow the user to target rectification points on an image to (user-known) points on another map layer. Similarly, the GRASS macro 3d.view.sh divides the monitor into nine frames to demonstrate the 3-d viewing function of GRASS.

The boundaries of a user's current geographic region, which define which map areas will be displayed, should not be confused with those of the current display frame, which define the place on the graphics monitor in which results will be displayed.

The following commands are used to manage the frames in which graphics are displayed on the user's graphics display device (monitor). These commands affect only the display of graphics, and do not alter the user's data.

- d.erase - d.frame

For more information on a specific command, select a command and press ESC.
