DESCRIPTION

54       d.title  generates  to  standard  output  a string which can be used by
55       d.text to draw a TITLE for the raster map layer name in the active dis‐
56       play  frame  on the graphics monitor.  Output created by d.title can be
57       redirected into a file, or piped directly into d.text  to  display  the
58       map  TITLE  created by d.title.  The map TITLE created will include the
59       map layer’s  name,  TITLE,  MAPSET,  LOCATION_NAME,  geographic  region
60       boundary  coordinates,  and  cell  resolution.   If the -d draw flag is
61       used, then d.title will call d.text for you and the title will be auto‐
62       matically rendered to the display.
63

NOTES

65       The text created with d.text will not necessarily fit within the active
66       display frame on the graphics monitor; the user should  choose  a  text
67       size appropriate to this frame.
68

EXAMPLES

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