.SH DESCRIPTION
\fId.slide.show\fR is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which
clears the entire screen, creates a series of display
frames on the graphics monitor, and displays in slideshow
format each of the raster/vector map layers listed in the
user-specified \fImapsets\fR.  This is a shell script
example which makes extensive use of GRASS and UNIX
commands.  Users are encouraged to examine this macro and
develop similar on-line demos using their own data files.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following command sequence shows the available raster
maps, saves the view to a PNG file and then converts it
into a PDF file:
\fC

.br
# reset region:
.br
g.region \-dp
.br
.br
# open GRASS monitor with defined size:
.br
GRASS_WIDTH=800 GRASS_HEIGHT=1000 d.mon x0
.br
.br
# we have around 40 maps in the Spearfish PERMANENT mapset:
.br
d.slide.show across=5 down=8 mapsets=PERMANENT
.br
.br
# From Monitor to PNG to PDF:
.br
