[GRASS-dev] Regarding "d.frame"-like functionality in grass 7

Hi list,

I have found only two threads related to "d.frame" and grass 7 (in which
version of course d.frame does not exist).

(2008) http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2008-October/040353.html
(2010) http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2010-September/057769.html

Alsom, in <file:///osgeo/src/grass7_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-
gnu/docs/html/variables.html> there is:

,--%<---
GRASS_FRAME
contains 4 coordinates, top,bottom,left,right, defining the initial frame.
`--->%--

Is there elsewhere a "d.frame" like functionality, for inside grass7,
documented?

Thank you, Nikos

No. In GRASS 7, the display drivers are libraries, not persistent
processes, so there's no way to write a command which affects
subsequent display commands.
