DESCRIPTION

35       d.title generates to standard output a string  which  can  be  used  by
36       d.text to draw a TITLE for the raster map layer name in the active dis‐
37       play frame on the graphics monitor.  Output created by d.title  can  be
38       redirected  into  a  file, or piped directly into d.text to display the
39       map TITLE created by d.title.  The map TITLE created will  include  the
40       map  layer's  name,  TITLE,  MAPSET,  LOCATION_NAME,  geographic region
41       boundary coordinates, and cell resolution.

EXAMPLE

44       For example, a  user  wishing  to  create  a  suitable  TITLE  for  the
45       Spearfish,  SD  soils map layer and to display this TITLE in the active
46       display frame on the graphics monitor might type the following: d.title
47       map=soils color=red size=5 > TITLE.file d.text < TITLE.file
48
49       Alternately,  the  user might pipe d.title output directly into d.text:
50       d.title map=soils color=red size=5 | d.text
51
52       A file created by d.title can be displayed  with  d.text.   Information
53       contained in this file takes precedence over the color and size parame‐
54       ters for d.text.
55

NOTES

57       The text created with d.text will not necessarily fit within the active
58       display  frame  on  the graphics monitor; the user should choose a text
59       size appropriate to this frame.
