[GRASSLIST:8793] Re: Querying display monitor locations as percent from origin (0,0)?

[Michael Barton]

Hamish,

How does it show up when the d.barscale (or your new d.legend) mouse
placement "remembers" its placement?

It doesn't show up in the GUI and I can't see how to capture it from the
command line.
