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 display 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 automatically 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 directly
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 parameters for
d.text.
