       _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-interactively; 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 pre-
       viously 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 location.
