113 d.northarrow displays a north arrow symbol at the given screen coordi‐
114 nates. If no coordinates are given it will draw the north arrow in the
115 bottom right of the display. It can draw the north arrow in a number of
116 styles (see the wiki page for details). With certain styles of north
117 arrow label ’N’ is displayed by default, and can be changed with option
118 label, for example for different languages. The label can be hidden
119 with -t flag.
120 North arrow can be rotated, for example to align with true north, not
122 grid north. The angle in degrees counter-clockwise (or radians with -r
123 flag) can be specified with option rotation. Label is rotated together
124 with the arrow, unless flag -w is specified.
