However, looking at the wiki page I had the feeling that this fits better in the page linked under "Authoring instructions", i.e.: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Programming_Howto#Display_Symbols. So I added it there. If you think that we should also add it to the IconSymbols page, please let me know where you think it would fit best.
