DESCRIPTION

110       d.barscale displays a barscale on the graphics  monitor  at  the  given
111       screen  coordinates.  If  no  coordinates  are  given  it will draw the
112       barscale in the bottom left of the display.
113
114       The barscale can drawn in a number of styles (see style  parameter  for
115       their previews).
116

NOTE

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