<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>d.title</em> generates to standard output a string which can be used by
<em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a></em> to draw a TITLE for the raster map
layer <em>name</em> in the active display frame on the graphics monitor. 
Output created by <em>d.title</em> can be redirected into a file, or piped
directly into <em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a></em> to display the map
TITLE created by <em>d.title</em>.  The map TITLE created will include the
map layer's name, TITLE, MAPSET, LOCATION_NAME, geographic region boundary
coordinates, and cell resolution.
If the <b>-d</b> draw flag is used, then <em>d.title</em> will call
<em>d.text</em> for you and the title will be automatically rendered
to the display.


<h2>NOTES</h2>

The text created with 
<em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a></em> 
will not necessarily fit within the 
active display frame on the graphics monitor; 
the user should choose a text size appropriate to this frame. 


<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>

For example, a user wishing to create a suitable TITLE for the 
Spearfish, SD <em>soils</em> map layer and to display this TITLE in the 
active display frame on the graphics monitor might type the following: 
<dl>
<dd> <b>d.title map=</b><em>soils</em> <b>color=</b><em>red</em> <b>size=</b><em>5</em> <b>&gt; TITLE.file</b>
<dd> <b><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a> &lt; TITLE.file</b> 
</dl>
Alternately, the user might pipe <em>d.title</em> output directly 
into <em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a>:</em> 
<dl>
<dd>
<b>d.title map=</b><em>soils</em> <b>color=</b><em>red</em> <b>size=</b><em>5</em> | 
<a href="d.text.html">d.text</a>
</dl>

<p>A file created by <em>d.title</em> can be displayed 
with <em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a></em>.
Information contained in this file takes precedence over the 
<em>color</em> and <em>size</em> parameters for 
<em><a href="d.text.html">d.text</a></em>.
