d.title - Create a TITLE for a raster map in a form suitable for display with d.text.

       James Westervelt, U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory

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.

       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.

d.title  - Create a TITLE for a raster map in a form suitable for display with d.text.

       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.
