#3150: Simple r.out.png region enhancement

I would like to post a patch that enables direct region settings in
r.out.png. This patch is only useful if the current region should not be
changed or can not be changed due to access restrictions of the mapset.

I agree that this would come handy time to time. For example, G7:r.mapcalc
(>=7.4) has region option to customize the region based on the inputs.
General modifications of region, such as the one you suggest, would apply
to many modules.
I suggest to close this as won't fix and open another ticket suggesting
change on the library and parser level or on the level of grass.py
covering the --exec case.

I was also in this situation and really for outputs and rendering, even
many GUI operations, there is no need to have any write access or
ownership (see also #2511). The current solution for this particular use
case and r.out.png is the GRASS_REGION environmental variable.
