Add legend title

[annakrat]

Currently legend shows title only in case raster has set units using r.support. The text is shifted awkwardly to right. Legend should have an option to set the title directly.

shifted units in legend - generated in main map display

shifted units in map legend - generated in g.gui.psmap

Ops! I sent attachments before comment (again!). Maybe (un)related, but after using r.support, units are shifted even more awkwardly when calling colortable from g.gui.psmap or ps.map.

The attachments illustrate the behaviour, both adding legend from main map display (first fig) and calling colortable from g.gui.psmap (second fig)

I want to add option title that display custom label at the top of the legend. Should I keep displaying the text with units when raster has set units using r.support? I don't like it, it's not actually a title. If necessary I can add another option for displaying units but I would prefer at different position then at the top of the legend.

I would keep the current behavior there (perhaps try to fix the position) and if user specifies title, the title would be shown, not the units. Any other opinions are welcome of course.

Ok, I will keep it. In both cases of title or units the text should be aligned to the left border of legend, right?

I would think so.

In 68671:

d.legend: improvements by Adam Laza: ticks, new options for labels, title, see #3014, #3015

Specifying a title leads to a parse error:

GRASS 7.2.svn (latlong_wgs84):~/Downloads > d.legend raster="magnitude" at=90.3,94.7,1.8,26.5 title="Wind magnitude [knots]"

Likewise with NC SPM:

GRASS 7.2.svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > ERROR: Failed to run command 'd.legend raster=[m] at=5,50,47,50

       GRASS_INFO_END(16739,1)

"Just" a quoting issue it seems.

Works for me in trunk...

For me, too. But it 7.2 it doesn't... Maybe a d.mon issue?

[annakrat]

I backported r69160. Please test this and #3132 and both could be closed.

Excellent, thanks for the fix.
