DESCRIPTION

       d.northarrow displays a north arrow symbol  the  graphics  monitor  at  the  given  screen
       coordinates.  If no coordinates are given it will draw the north arrow in the bottom right
       of the display. It can draw the north arrow in a number of styles (see the wiki  page  for
       details).

TODO

       Add options to use an arbitrary rotation angle for when grid north and true north diverge,
       and add a flag to calculate that convergence angle and apply the rotation automatically.
