DESCRIPTION

56       v.mkgrid  will  create a vector map representation of a regular coordi‐
57       nate grid.
58

NOTES

60       This is NOT to be used to generate a vector map  of  USGS  quadrangles,
61       because USGS quads are not exact rectangles.
62

EXAMPLE

64       Make  a  4x3  grid,  cells  20km  a  side,  with  lower  left corner at
65       2716500,6447000:
66       v.mkgrid  map=coro_grid  grid=4,3  position=coor   coor=2716500,6447000
67       box=20000,20000
