Thank you Michael. The PNG file which I want to display is actually a WMS getmap requests response. Now once I have this reponse from WMS, I want this image returned to be displyed as a layer in GRASS GIS Map Display. <br>

First, keep in mind that GRASS is a GIS, not a graphics program. So you can't just "display" any graphics file. That is not the purpose of GRASS software.<br>
<br>
You can visualize a graphics file in the GRASS GIS environment by importing it into an XY location--i.e., where pixel coordinates are not tied to an earth coordinate system.<br>
<br>
If you want to orient a map that comes in a graphic file format (e.g., a scanned map) so that it can be used in a GIS, you will need to georeference it so that each pixel is mapped to a corresponding earth coordinate system. You can use the georeferencing wizard in GRASS to do this.<br>
<br>
If you want to display a photo of a place on top of a map, GRASS does not do that. You can save a map to a graphics file and then create your photo/map collage in a program like GIMP or Inkscape.<br>
