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 dataset 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"
