#3023 new defect

Change default behavior of d.title to draw instead of output text

Reported by: wenzeslaus Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: blocker Milestone: 8.0.0
Component: Display Version: svn-releasebranch70
Keywords: d.title, interface Cc:
CPU: Unspecified Platform: Unspecified

Description

Currently this outputs text:

d.title elevation
.C black
.S 4.000000
LOCATION: nc_spm_08_grass7
elevation in carto
South-West Wake county: Elevation NED 10m
North:  228500.00  South:  215000.00
West:   630000.00  East:   645000.00
Resolution: n-s:   10.00  e-w:   10.00

To actually display something one need to do:

d.title elevation -d

This is unexpected behavior for a display module and -d behavior should be the default one.

I suggest to switch the default for 8.0. We can introduce in 7.x a new flag to turn on the text (it would do nothing special in 7.x) to be forward compatible with 8.0. Alternatively, we can also drop the text behavior completely but I can imagine that somebody is (mis)using d.title for just the text (as alternatively formatted r.info).

This is change of interface and this it must be resolved before the release, so blocker.
