8.27 set
set <option> <value>
The set command sets the value of various operational parameters within PyXPlot. For example:
set pointsize 2
would sets the default point size to 2. The basic syntax always follows that above: the set command should be followed by some keyword specifying which setting it is which should be set. Settings which work in an on/off fashion tend to take a syntax along the lines of:
set key |
Set option ON |
set nokey |
Set option OFF |
More details of the functions of each individual setting can be found in the subsections below, which forms a complete list of the recognised setting keywords.
The reader should also see the show command, which can be used to display the current values of settings, and the unset command, which returns settings to their default values. Section 7.2 describes how commonly used settings can be saved into a configuration file.
