NAMEd.rhumbline - Displays the rhumbline joining two longitude/latitude coordinates.KEYWORDSdisplay, distance, rhumblineSYNOPSISd.rhumblined.rhumbline --help d.rhumbline coordinates=lon1,lat1,lon2,lat2 [line_color=name] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui] Flags:

DESCRIPTIONA rhumbline (loxodrome) is a line following a constant angle of the compass (i.e., a line of constant direction). It crosses all meridians at the same angle, i.e. a path of constant bearing. d.rhumbline displays the rhumbline joining any two user-specified points in the active frame on the user’s graphics monitor. The named coordinate locations must fall within the boundaries of the user’s current geographic region.The user has to specify the starting and ending longitude/latitude coordinates of the rhumbline and (optionally) the color in which the rhumbline will be displayed; in this case, the program will run non-interactively.
