Until now the d.out.file module works only on content from X-Monitors (x0,
x1, etc.). It would be great if this could be extended for PNG/Cairo and
possibly PS monitors. This would allow to use the module also in pure
command line - based environments

  * status: new => closed
  * resolution: => wontfix

Comment:

This will not change for G6 and for G7 it is an duplicate of #2595 which
might be anyway closed as wontfix because the workflow is already possible
just using:

{{{
d.mon start=cairo output=myfile.png
...
d.mon stop=cairo
}}}

So, using d.out.file for this would be little duplication. On the other
hand, `d.out.file` has some popularity perhaps because it is more
explicit.
