DESCRIPTION¶
d.barscale displays a barscale on the graphics monitor using either the
mouse or given screen coordinates. It can draw the scale in a couple of styles
or simply draw a north arrow.
NOTE¶
d.barscale will not work in Lat/Lon locations as the horizontal scale
distance changes with latitude. Try
d.grid instead.
The -l flag will always draw a north arrow
and a line scale together; it
is currently not possible to draw a line scale without a north arrow. Instead,
the -s flag can be used to draw a barscale only.
