DESCRIPTION

       This program manages display frames on the user's graphics monitor. Graphics are displayed in rectangular
       frames on whatever graphics monitor the user is currently  directing  GRASS  display  output  to.   These
       frames are created and managed with this module. Note that GRASS frame contents are not retained when one
       frame covers another. You cannot shuffle frames from top to bottom and  then  back  again.   They  simply
       define rectangular areas on the screen where subsequent drawing will occur.

NOTES

       The  coordinates  for the at= option are stated in the form: bottom,top,left,right. The lower-left corner
       of the graphics monitor always is at location 0,0 while the monitor's upper-right  corner  is  always  at
       100,100 (the values are in percent).

       If  at= options are not given during frame correction the user will be prompted to create the frame using
       the mouse.  Likewise if a frame name is not given during frame selection, the user will  be  prompted  to
       select an existing frame on the display monitor using the mouse.

       If  the  user has created multiple display frames that overlap one another, whatever the user displays in
       the active frame will overwrite those portions of the underlying frame where these frames overlap.

       A frame by the name of full_screen is always present and may be selected at any time. This may be  useful
       if you would like to de-select all user defined frames just before taking a screenshot.
