[GRASSLIST:1639] Re: display several maps

[Gail Higginbottom]

 r.patch is used to  to make a composite map layer from several map layers
which are "registered to the same area of the Earth's surface".  So I dont
think it will help Julien. I think JUlien is looking for something that
creates one large map from several "sub-maps" of an entire region .

best wishes,
Gail
