[GRASSLIST:4361] Polar Stereographic projection

GRASS GRASS user
1

GRASSLIST,

I am trying to display a grid in a Polar Stereographic projection -- not
"Stereographic" or "Universal Polar Stereographic" -- using GRASS 5.0.
It appears a standard Polar Stereographic projection (for the North
Pole) is not supported in GRASS. Is that correct? And if so, is there a
way to circumvent this and get it to appear correctly in GRASS 5.0? Can
PROJ.4 be of help to me?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

You might have a look at 'viewproj' (need to compile it from source).
