[GRASS-user] Problems while running d.out.file

[António Rocha]

Hi Hamish

THe problem is with the "shrink". You are right it's tiny but in the 
case of the scale bar it is not shrinked. I mean it keeps the original size.
Example: This is the original

This is half of the size

In this is case it does not disappear it's just cut.

I would report this as bug. Or not really?
