<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 
<em>d.barscale</em> displays a barscale on the graphics monitor at the
given screen coordinates. If no coordinates are given it will draw the
barscale in the bottom left of the display.

<p>
The barscale can drawn in a number of styles (see <b>style</b>
parameter for their previews).

<h2>NOTE</h2>

<em>d.barscale</em> will not work in Lat/Lon locations as the horizontal
scale distance changes with latitude.
Try <em><a href="d.grid.html">d.grid</a></em> instead.
