<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<em>d.background</em> will fill the image (or generally display monitor)
with a single color specified by the <b>color</b> option.
<h2>NOTES</h2>
<em>d.background</em> is a frontend to <em>d.erase</em> and shares its limitations.
Namely, it does not work with the wx monitors such as <code>d.mon wx0</code>.
<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
In this example, the <em>streets_wake</em> map from the North Carolina sample
dataset is displayed with custom background color (specified using HTML hex color code)
using <em>cairo</em> display monitor (creates file called <em>map.png</em>):
<div class="code"><pre>
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"
</pre></div>
<!--

<img src="d_background.png" alt="Street network with legend and background color">
<p>
Figure: Wake County street network with custom background color (North Carolina sample dataset)
