🧼 d.erase — the display frame eraser, bestie edition 💅

okay so d.erase lives in the GRASS User's Manual (that's d.erase(1grass) if you're being formal at a family dinner). It erases the contents of the active graphics display frame, and it does it with a user defined color. Iconic behavior, honestly.

✨ KEYWORDS ✨

display, graphics, monitors — that's the whole vibe check.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

d.erase
d.erase --help
d.erase [-f]  [bgcolor=name]   [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🎀 FLAGS 🎀

  • -f — bestie this one goes FULL wipe: it removes all frames and erases the screen. Not just a little tidy-up, a whole clean slate.
  • --help — prints the usage summary so you're not out here guessing 🫶
  • --verbose — verbose module output, i.e. it tells you what it's up to in detail.
  • --quiet — quiet module output, i.e. it shuts up and just does the thing.
  • --ui — forces a GUI dialog to launch. mouse girlies rise.

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • bgcolor=name — the background color. You can drop in either a standard color name or an R:G:B triplet, your call. Default is white.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So d.erase erases the contents of the active graphics frame, and replaces it with the color black (by default) or by whatever color the user specifies.

ngl the page says the default is black in the description and white under the parameter 👀 I'm just the messenger, I report what the manual says, periodt.
