DESCRIPTION

       d.zoom  allows  the  user  to  interactively adjust the settings of the current geographic
       region using a pointing device such as a mouse.   Like  g.region,  d.zoom  re-defines  the
       settings  of the geographic region.  However, d.zoom allows the user to change the current
       region settings interactively, by either outlining the new region perimeter with a  mouse,
       unzoom or pan the region. The graphics display is updated by the module.

       After  the  user  types  the  command d.zoom a mouse-button menu will appear directing the
       user.

       Additionally the region settings can be modified by running g.region.

NOTES

       Although it is not necessary that the user display a  map  in  the  active  display  frame
       before  running  d.zoom,  it  is  helpful  to  do  this  for reference. Using parameter -f
       integrate a pan function, -h  facilitates the use for handhelds.
