DESCRIPTION
d.title generates to standard output a string which can be used by
d.text to draw a TITLE for the raster map layer name in the active dis-
play frame on the graphics monitor. Output created by d.title can be
redirected into a file, or piped directly into d.text to display the
map TITLE created by d.title. The map TITLE created will include the
map layer’s name, TITLE, MAPSET, LOCATION_NAME, geographic region
boundary coordinates, and cell resolution. If the -d draw flag is
used, then d.title will call d.text for you and the title will be auto-
matically rendered to the display.
NOTES
The text created with d.text will not necessarily fit within the active
display frame on the graphics monitor; the user should choose a text
size appropriate to this frame.
EXAMPLES
For example, a user wishing to create a suitable TITLE for the
Spearfish, SD soils map layer and to display this TITLE in the active
display frame on the graphics monitor might type the following:
d.title map=soils color=red size=5 > TITLE.file
d.text < TITLE.file Alternately, the user might pipe d.title output di-
rectly into d.text:
d.title map=soils color=red size=5 | d.text
A file created by d.title can be displayed with d.text. Information
contained in this file takes precedence over the color and size parame-
ters for d.text.
