💖 topic_cartography — GRASS GIS User's Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to topic_cartography(1) — this is the GRASS GIS user's manual page that's basically one giant mood board of every module that makes your maps look cute on screen ✨ it's not a program you run, it's a topic, a whole vibe, a curated little collection of the cartography girlies. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ Topic: cartography ✨

these are the display-and-decorate modules, the ones who show up to the group chat with a finished layout 🔥

• d.barscale — puts a barscale on the graphics monitor so everyone knows how far they're actually walking 💅
• d.graph — the program for generating and displaying simple graphics on the display monitor, like little doodles but make it data
• d.grid — overlays a user-specified grid in the active display frame on the graphics monitor, iykyk, grids are the unsung heroes
• d.legend — displays a legend for a 2D or 3D raster map in the active frame of the graphics monitor 👑 (2D or 3D, she does both)
• d.legend.vect — displays a vector legend in the active graphics frame, vector edition, no cap
• d.linegraph — generates and displays simple line graphs in the active graphics monitor display frame 📈
• d.northarrow — displays a north arrow on the graphics monitor, because being lost is not the vibe 🧭 (well, d.northarrow is, but still)
• d.rast.leg — displays a raster map and its legend on a graphics window 🦋
• d.text — draws text in the active display frame on the graphics monitor using the current font, main character energy for your labels ✍️
• d.title — create a TITLE for a raster map in a form suitable for display with d.text, so your map has a name, as she deserves 🌸
• d.vect.chart — displays charts of vector data in the active frame on the graphics monitor 📊
• d.vect.thematic — displays a thematic vector map in the active graphics frame, themes on themes 💜
