ps.map rfe: new instruction to flood fill background color

Description

It would be nice to add an fcolor (fill color) argument to the 'border' option, in order to switch from white to any color the background of a map composition.

Thank you, Vincent

Cc: grass-dev@… added
Milestone: 6.4.0 → 6.5.0
Owner: changed from grass-dev@… to hamish
Priority: normal → minor
Status: new → assigned

work-around until this gets added: v.in.region + vareas as the last/bottom-most layer

Vincent suggests: 

"0 0 width height box
stroke "
at the beginning of the ps file.

Sorry, I did it in a hurry, I was meaning :

"0 0 moveto
<width> 0 lineto
<width> <height> lineto
0 <height> lineto
closepath
.5 setgray
fill"

In this example it will draw a gray background on the map extent.

my thinking now is to make it its own new instruction called "background", not as part of the "border" instruction.
