SYNOPSIS

       d.slide.show
       d.slide.show help
       d.slide.show  [-v]   [prefix=string]    [across=integer]   [down=integer]   [mapsets=string[,string,...]]
       [delay=integer]   [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -v
           Show vector maps rather than raster maps

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       prefix=string
           Map prefix. Specify character(s) to view selected maps only

       across=integer
           Map number show across the monitor

       down=integer
           Map number show down the monitor

       mapsets=string[,string,...]
           Mapsets to use. Specify multiple mapsets comma separated

       delay=integer
           Number of seconds to pause between slides
           Options: 0-60

DESCRIPTION

       d.slide.show is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which clears the entire screen, creates  a  series  of  display
       frames  on  the  graphics  monitor, and displays in slideshow format each of the raster/vector map layers
       listed in the user-specified mapsets.  This is a shell script example which makes extensive use of  GRASS
       and  UNIX  commands.   Users are encouraged to examine this macro and develop similar on-line demos using
       their own data files.

EXAMPLE

       The following command sequence shows the available raster maps, saves the view to a  PNG  file  and  then
       converts it into a PDF file:
       # reset region:
       g.region -dp
       # open GRASS monitor with defined size:
       GRASS_WIDTH=800 GRASS_HEIGHT=1000 d.mon x0
       # we have around 40 maps in the Spearfish PERMANENT mapset:
       d.slide.show across=5 down=8 mapsets=PERMANENT
       # From Monitor to PNG to PDF:
       d.out.png out=spearfish_maps.png res=2
       convert spearfish_maps.png spearfish_maps.pdf
       xpdf spearfish_maps.pdf
