44 In this example, the streets_wake map from the North Carolina sample
45 location is displayed with custom background color (specified using
46 HTML hex color code) using cairo display monitor (creates file called
47 map.png):
48 g.region vector=streets_wake
49 d.mon cairo
50 d.background color=#ADEFD1
51 d.vect map=streets_wake color=#00203F legend_label="Streets"
52 d.legend.vect -b at=70,30 title="Wake County"
