           Default: black

       size=float

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.
