+<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
+
+You can shrink inwards by preparing an inverse map first, and then
+inverting the resulting grown map. For example:
+<div class="code"><pre>
+# Spearfish sample dataset
+
+MAP=fields
+g.region rast=$MAP
+r.mapcalc "inverse = if(isnull($MAP), 1, null())"
+r.grow in=inverse out=inverse.grown
+r.mapcalc "$MAP.shrunken = if(isnull(inverse.grown), $MAP, null())"
+r.colors $MAP.shrunken rast=$MAP
+g.remove inverse,inverse.grown
+</pre></div>
