✨ general_graphical(1grass) — the GRASS User's Manual ✨

okay bestie, so this page isn't a command at all, it's a whole graphical index — like a little gallery of every GRASS tool, grouped up, so you can vibe-check what exists before you go grepping through the full index. 🌈 It even ships with its own CSS, and no we are not skipping it, we keep everything here. 💅

🎀 the stylesheet that comes bundled with this page

fr fr this is the literal styling the index uses to draw those little clickable cards. keeping it character for character, because that's the rule 🫶

.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; }
