Title - Frame title

Description:
This attribute holds a string which is used as a title in (e.g.) graphical output to describe the coordinate system which a Frame represents. Examples might be "Detector Coordinates" or "Galactic Coordinates".

If a Title value has not been set for a Frame, then a suitable default is supplied, depending on the class of the Frame.

Type:
String.
Class Applicability:
Frame
The default supplied by the Frame class is "$<$n$>$-d coordinate system", where $<$n$>$ is the number of Frame axes (Naxes attribute).
CmpFrame
The CmpFrame class re-defines the default Title value to be "$<$n$>$-d compound coordinate system", where $<$n$>$ is the number of CmpFrame axes (Naxes attribute).
FrameSet
The Title attribute of a FrameSet is the same as that of its current Frame (as specified by the Current attribute).
Notes:
  • A Frame's Title is intended purely for interpretation by human readers and not by software.
