DESCRIPTION

       d.background  will  fill  the  image  (or  generally  display monitor) with a single color
       specified by the color option.

NOTES

       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.

EXAMPLES

       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"

       dataset)
