SYNOPSIS
d.background
d.background --help
d.background color=name [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
- color=name [required]
- Background color
- Either a standard color name or R:G:B triplet
d.background will fill the image (or generally display monitor)
with a single color specified by the
color option.
d.background is a frontend to
d.erase and shares its limitations.
Namely, it does not work with the wx monitors such as
d.mon wx0
.
In this example, the
streets_wake map from the North Carolina sample
location is displayed with custom background color (specified using HTML hex color code)
using
cairo display monitor (creates file called
map.png):
g.region vector=streets_wake
d.mon cairo
d.background color=#ADEFD1
d.vect map=streets_wake color=#00203F legend_label="Streets"
d.legend.vect -b at=70,30 title="Wake County"
Figure: Wake County street network with custom background color (North Carolina sample dataset)
