       Unknown, from USACE/CERL.
       Major rewrite for GRASS 7 by Hamish Bowman

d.barscale displays a barscale on the graphics monitor at the given screen coordinates. If no coordinates

d.barscale  - Displays a barscale on the graphics monitor.

d.barscale  will  not  work  with  Lat/Lon  coordinate  reference system as the horizontal scale distance
       changes with latitude.  Try d.grid instead.
