## INTRODUCTION: GRASS GRAPHICS DISPLAY COMMANDS

GRASS provides users with two sets of functions for designing and outputting maps: the "display" functions, for generating GRASS output to graphics monitors, and the "print" functions, for generating GRASS outputs to hardcopy output devices. See "Printing Maps" for print functions (located back at the Help System Main Menu).

The display functions in GRASS fall into four basic categories, involving:

(1) Management of the graphics monitor,
(2) Management of display frames on the graphics monitor,
(3) Reporting of information about the displayed image, and
(4) Input, capture, and display of raster, vector, and site data,
as well as text and screen graphics.

These functions are examined in the Map Display area. Also covered in this area are the the requirements of graphics display devices used with GRASS, graphics devices currently supported, and information on writing new graphics drivers for unsupported devices.
