[GRASS-user] quick way to create a mask and region after zooming in?

[Vishal Mehta]

hi all,

i want to zoom into a region of interest and have that be the extent of a
mask and a named region.(no single map layer quite covers the region of
interest)

isn't there a a command or flag with g.region or r.mask to do this? if not
i'm looking at having to digitize a polygon after zooming in, or manually
jotting down the corners of the display window and piping it to g.region.

thanks,
Vishal
