d.grid  overlays  a  grid  of  user-defined  size  and  color in the active display frame on the graphics
       monitor.  The grid can be created as a standard rectangular grid or a geographic grid.

       If the user provides a -g flag a geographic (projected) grid will be drawn. With the  -g  flag  the  size
       argument accepts both decimal degrees and colon separated ddd:mm:ss coordinates (eg. 00:30:00 for half of
       a degree).  A geographic grid cannot be drawn for a latitude/longitude or XY projection.

       Colors  may  be  standard named GRASS colors (red, green, aqua, etc.) or a numerical R:G:B triplet, where
       component values range from 0-255.  Grid color can be set  with  option  color.  Options  text_color  and
       bgcolor set the color of the text and its background.

       The grid drawing may be turned off by using the -n flag.
       The border drawing may be turned off by using the -b flag.
       The coordinate text may be turned off by using the -t flag.

       To  draw  grid  lines  at different intervals, e.g. at high latitudes, you can run the module twice, once
       with direction=east-west at one interval size, and again with direction=north-south at  another  interval
       size.

       To draw a red geographic grid with 30 minute grid spacing, run one of the following commands:
       d.grid -g size=00:30:00 color=red
       or
       d.grid -g size=0.5 color=255:0:0
       Figure:Showingageographicgridinredlinecolor To draw a blue standard rectangular grid at a 500
       (meter) spacing run the following:
       d.grid size=500 color=blue
