DESCRIPTION

59       d.barscale displays a barscale on the graphics monitor using either the
60       mouse or given screen coordinates. It can draw the scale in a couple of
61       styles or simply draw a north arrow.
62

NOTE

64       d.barscale will not work in Lat/Lon locations as the  horizontal  scale
65       distance changes with latitude. Try d.grid instead.
