DESCRIPTION

42       d.out.file   - Uses d.save, the GRASS PNG driver, and gdal_translate to
43       export the currently selected display monitor to  a  graphics  file  of
44       several formats. Screen resolution can be set prior to export.  PNG and
45       PPM formats are supported directly by the GRASS PNG driver, along  with
46       two  compression  levels  for PNG files TIFF, JPEG, and BMP formats are
47       supported by using gdal_translate on PPM format files produced  by  the
48       GRASS PNG driver. Different levels of compression/quality are supported
49       for JPEG files (integer values from 10-100 are accepted.  Graphic files
50       are  exported  to  the  user's home directory by default, but different
51       paths may be specified in the output field.
