display_graphical(1grass)

🎀 display_graphical(1grass) — Graphical index of GRASS tools 💅

okay bestie, this is the display_graphical(1grass) page from the GRASS User's Manual, and it's literally the Graphical index of GRASS tools — like the master directory of every d.* tool you can throw onto a graphics display. no SYNOPSIS, no OPTIONS, just pure directory energy, and I'm gonna walk you through every single crumb of it 🍓

💅 the style sheet, verbatim, because I skip NOTHING

so before literally anything else, the page ships with a little CSS block at the top. and because the vibe here is "every single detail stays", here it is character for character, --gs-primary-color and all 👑

.img-list { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; } .img-list li {
padding: 5px; overflow: auto; } .img-list li:hover { background-color: #eee; }
.img-list li a { color: initial; text-decoration: none; display: block; }
.img-list li img { width: 10%; float: left; margin: 0 15px 0 0; background:
white; object-fit: scale-down; } .img-list li img.default-img { max-height:
5ex; background-color: var(--gs-primary-color); padding: 5px; } .img-list li
.desc { margin: 0px; } .img-list li .name { margin: 5px; display: block; color:
#409940; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

🌸 Graphical index of GRASS tools 🌸

first thing on the page is a little nav: Go to Display introduction | topics — tap that if you want the scenic route before diving into the tool list 🦋

🌈 Display tools 💖

and here's the main event, every display tool, in order, fr fr — no skipping, no summarising, we're eating the whole plate:

• d.background — fills the graphics display frame with a color you define. your canvas, your rules ✨
• d.barscale — displays a barscale on the graphics monitor.
• d.colorlist — outputs a list of all the display colors that are available. no gatekeeping 🎨
• d.colortable — displays the color table that comes attached to a raster map layer.
• d.correlate — prints a graph of the correlation between raster maps, and it does them in pairs 💞
• d.erase — erases the contents of the active graphics display frame and fills it with a user defined color. clean slate energy.
• d.font — selects the font in which text will be displayed on the user's graphics monitor. font choice is a personality trait, iykyk.
• d.fontlist — lists the available fonts.
• d.frame — manages display frames on the user's graphics monitor.
• d.geodesic — displays a geodesic line, tracing the shortest distance between two geographic points along a great circle, in a longitude/latitude data set. shortest path, main character energy 🌈
• d.graph — the program for generating and displaying simple graphics on the display monitor.
• d.grid — overlays a user-specified grid in the active display frame on the graphics monitor.
• d.his — displays the result obtained by combining hue, intensity, and saturation (HIS) values from user-specified input raster map layers.
• d.histogram — displays a histogram in the form of a pie or bar chart for a user-specified raster map. pie chart, iconic 🥧
• d.info — displays information about the active display monitor.
• d.labels — displays text labels (created with v.label) to the active frame on the graphics monitor.
• d.legend — displays a legend for a 2D or 3D raster map in the active frame of the graphics monitor.
• d.legend.vect — displays a vector legend in the active graphics frame.
• d.linegraph — generates and displays simple line graphs in the active graphics monitor display frame.
• d.mon — controls graphics display monitors from the command line. terminal girlies rise 💅
• d.northarrow — displays a north arrow on the graphics monitor.
• d.out.file — saves the contents of the active display monitor to a graphics file.
• d.path — finds shortest path for selected starting and ending node.
• d.polar — draws polar diagram of angle map such as aspect or flow directions
• d.profile — plots profile of a transect.
• d.rast.arrow — draws arrows representing cell aspect direction for a raster map containing aspect data.
• d.rast.edit — edits cell values in a raster map.
• d.rast — displays user-specified raster map in the active graphics frame.
• d.rast.leg — displays a raster map and its legend on a graphics window
• d.rast.num — overlays cell category values on a raster map displayed in the active graphics frame.
• d.redraw — redraws the content of currently selected monitor.
• d.rgb — displays three user-specified raster maps as red, green, and blue overlays in the active graphics frame.
• d.rhumbline — displays the rhumbline joining two longitude/latitude coordinates.
• d.shade — drapes a color raster over an shaded relief or aspect map.
• d.text — draws text in the active display frame on the graphics monitor using the current font.
• d.title — create a TITLE for a raster map in a form suitable for display with d.text.
• d.to.rast — saves the contents of the active display monitor to a raster map.
• d.vect.chart — displays charts of vector data in the active frame on the graphics monitor.
• d.vect — displays user-specified vector map in the active graphics frame.
• d.vect.thematic — displays a thematic vector map in the active graphics frame.
• d.what.rast — allows the user to interactively query raster map layers at user-selected locations.
• d.what.vect — allows the user to interactively query vector map layers at user-selected locations.
• d.where — identifies the geographic coordinates associated with point locations given in display coordinates.

🔎 the little index footer thing

because obviously there's a link tree at the bottom too, and I'm not leaving any of it out:

Main index | Topics index | Keywords index | Graphical index | Full index

go click around, the rabbit hole is deep 🕳️✨
