show.fonts.sh

NAME

show.fonts.sh - Displays and names available font types in the active display frame on the graphics monitor.
(GRASS Shell Script)

SYNOPSIS

show.fonts.sh

DESCRIPTION

show.fonts.sh is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which runs the d.erase -a command, then names and displays the font types that can be selected using d.font. This macro also runs the GRASS commands d.font and d.text. See the manual entry for d.font for instructions on choosing a font type.

No program arguments are required to run this program.

BUGS

The font is set to romans (Roman simplex) after running show.fonts.sh. There is no mechanism to query the current font, so there is no way to automatically restore the font. The user will have to reset the font type using d.font if romans is not desired.

FILES

This program is simply a shell script stored under the $GISBASE/scripts directory. Users are encouraged to examine the shell script programs stored here and to produce others for their own use.
