sure, why not?

see the r.in.poly help page. The format is almost the same as v.in.ascii
format=standard. v.digit and r.digit may as well be put in the same app.

The whole point of $GRASS_REGION and $WIND_OVERRIDE is that you don't
need to touch the region settings. The changes only exist in the current
processes and don't persist.

the PNG[/PPM] driver is not dependant on the XDRIVER.
