 <EM>v.mkgrid</EM> will create a vector map representation of a regular coordinate grid.
 Both point and area vector grids can be created.

 <H2>NOTES</H2>
 
 This is NOT to be used to generate a vector map of USGS quadrangles,
 because USGS quads are not exact rectangles.

 Make a 4x3 grid, cells 20km a side, with lower left corner at 2716500,6447000:
 <div class="code"><pre>
 v.mkgrid map=coro_grid grid=4,3 position=coor coor=2716500,6447000 box=20000,20000
 </pre></div>

+<P>
+Make a 10x12 lat/lon grid, cells 2 arc-min a side, with lower left corner
+at 167deg 52min east, 47deg 6min south. For use with e.g. QGIS you can then
+pull this grid into a projected location with <em>v.proj</em> before
+exporting as a Shapefile with <em>v.out.ogr</em> (within GRASS you could
+just use <em>d.grid -w</em> from the projected location for the same effect).
