19.3.4 The terminal section

The terminal section can contain any of the following settings in any order:

color

Possible values: on, off.

Analogous command-line switches: -c, –color, -m, –monochrome.

Sets whether color highlighting should be used in the interactive terminal. If turned on, output is displayed in green, warning messages in amber, and error messages in red; these colors are configurable, as described below. Note that not all UNIX terminals support the use of color.

color_err

Possible values: Any recognised terminal color (see below).

Analogous command-line switches: None.

Sets the color in which error messages are displayed when color highlighting is used. Note that the list of recognised color names differs from that used in Pyxplot; a list is given at the end of this section.

color_rep

Possible values: Any recognised terminal color (see below).

Analogous command-line switches: None.

As above, but sets the color in which Pyxplot displays its non-error-related output.

color_wrn

Possible values: Any recognised terminal color (see below).

Analogous command-line switches: None.

As above, but sets the color in which Pyxplot displays its warning messages.

splash

Possible values: on, off.

Analogous command-line switches: -q, –quiet, -V, –verbose

Sets whether the standard welcome message is displayed upon startup.

The colors recognised by the COLOR_XXX configuration options above are: Red, Green, Amber, Blue, Purple, Magenta, Cyan, White, Normal. The final option produces the default foreground color of the terminal.
