NAME
d.title - Outputs a TITLE for a raster map layer in a form suitable
for display by d.text.
(GRASS Display Program)
SYNOPSIS
d.title
d.title help
d.title
[-f]
map=name
[color=name]
[size=value]
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.
The user can state program arguments on the command line, or type
simply d.title on the command line. In the latter case, the program
will prompt the user for the parameter values and flag setting using the
standard GRASS parser interface.
Flag:
- -f
- Displays a fancier TITLE.
Parameters:
- map=name
- Name of an existing raster map layer in the user's mapset search path.
- color=name
- Sets the current color to the name stated.
Options: red, orange, green, blue, indigo, violet, black, white, gray,
yellow, brown, and magenta
Default: white
- size=value
- Sets the text size as a percentage of the active display frame's height,
to value. Floating point values can be used.
Options: 0 - 100
Default: 15.0
EXAMPLE
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.
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.
