+<em>d.northarrow</em> displays a north arrow symbol 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

page</a> for details).
|
|
|
+With certain styles of north arrow label 'N' is displayed by default,
|
|
|
+and can be changed with option <b>label</b>, for example for different languages.
|
|
|
+The label can be hidden with <b>-t</b> flag.
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+North arrow can be rotated, for example to align with true north, not grid north.
|
|
|
+The angle in degrees counter-clockwise (or radians with <b>-r</b> flag)
|
|
|
+can be specified with option <b>rotation</b>. Label is rotated together with the
|
|
|
+arrow, unless flag <b>-w</b> is specified.

+<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
+Display a north arrow symbol as a basic compas with label NORTH,
|
|
|
+rotated by 8 degrees with label, with black line and gray fill:<br>
