37       single color specified by the color option.

NOTES

40       d.background  is  a  frontend  to  d.erase  and shares its limitations.
41       Namely, it does not work with the wx monitors such as d.mon wx0.
42

EXAMPLES

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"
