DESCRIPTION

44       v.mkgrid  will  create a vector map representation of a regular coordi‐
45       nate grid.
46

NOTES

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

EXAMPLE

52       Make  a  4x3  grid,  cells  20km  a  side,  with  lower  left corner at
53       2716500,6447000:
54       v.mkgrid  map=coro_grid  grid=4,3  position=coor   coor=2716500,6447000
55       box=20000,20000
