DESCRIPTION

50       d.title generates to standard output a string  which  can  be  used  by
51       d.text to draw a TITLE for the raster map layer name in the active dis‐
52       play frame on the graphics monitor.  Output created by d.title  can  be
53       redirected  into  a  file, or piped directly into d.text to display the
54       map TITLE created by d.title.  The map TITLE created will  include  the
55       map  layer's  name,  TITLE,  MAPSET,  LOCATION_NAME,  geographic region
56       boundary coordinates, and cell resolution.  If  the  -d  draw  flag  is
57       used, then d.title will call d.text for you and the title will be auto‐
58       matically rendered to the display.

NOTES

61       The text created with d.text will not necessarily fit within the active
62       display  frame  on  the graphics monitor; the user should choose a text
63       size appropriate to this frame.
64

EXAMPLES

66       For example, a  user  wishing  to  create  a  suitable  TITLE  for  the
67       Spearfish,  SD  soils map layer and to display this TITLE in the active
68       display frame on the graphics monitor might type the following:
69        d.title map=soils color=red size=5 > TITLE.file
70        d.text < TITLE.file
71
72       Alternately, the user might pipe d.title output directly  into  d.text:
73       d.title map=soils color=red size=5 | d.text
74
75       A  file  created  by d.title can be displayed with d.text.  Information
76       contained in this file takes precedence over the color and size parame‐
77       ters for d.text.
