## NAME

## KEYWORDS

 **d.split.frame help**\
 **d.split.frame** \[-**h**\]  \[**frames**=*integer*\]   \[--**verbose**\]  \[--**quiet**\]

### Flags:

  Quiet module output

### Parameters:

- **frames**=*integer*

  Number of subframes\
   Options: *2,4,6,8,9,12,16*\
   Default: *4*

## DESCRIPTION

*d.split.frame* divides the active display into a number of equal frames, either horizontally or vertically.

## NOTES

Frame labels are created as Spanish numbers to distinguish them from monitor numbers, etc. These are "*uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco,* *seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece, catorce, quince,* *and dieciseis*" for frames 1-16. The background frame is called *full\_screen*.

Commands such as *d.rast.leg* will interfere with the frame creation and cannot be used.

## EXAMPLE

Split the display monitor into six frames (3x2), jump to the third frame, and draw a map.\
\
 `  d.split.frame -h frames=6 `\
\
 `  d.frame -s tres`\
\
 `  d.rast elevation.dem`\
