   Parameters:
   map=name [required]
       Name of raster map

   color=string
       Sets the text color
       Default: black

   size=float
       Sets the text size as percentage of the frame's height
       Options: 0-100
       Default: 4.0

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.
