💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

d.info displays information about the active display monitor. and the display monitors are maintained by d.mon. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly no cap ✨

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

okay so watch this, start a monitor then ask her for the rectangle:

d.mon start=cairo
d.info -r
rectangle: 0.000000 640.000000 0.000000 480.000000

ate. no crumbs. 🔥

⭐ NOTES ⭐

• Units are screen pixels — except for the -g flag, where map units are used. so don't mix those up bestie, i'm begging 😭
• when you get two numbers, the format is: width, height
• when you get four numbers, the format is: left, right, top, bottom

Note: GRASS display pixel coordinates are measured from the top left. so like, origin is up in the corner, not down at the bottom like some other coordinate systems would have you believe. iykyk 🙈
