4.5 Configuration Options: terminal section

The following table provides a brief description of the function of each of the parameters in the terminal section of the above configuration file, with a list of possible values for each:

COLOUR	Possible values: ON / OFF Analogous commandline switches: -c, -colour, -m, -monochrome Sets whether colour 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 colours are configurable, as described below. Note that not all UNIX terminals support the use of colour.
COLOUR_ERR	Possible values: Any recognised terminal colour. Analogous commandline switches: None. Sets the colour in which error messages are displayed when colour highlighting is used. Note that the list of recognised colour names differs from that used in PyXPlot; a list is given at the end of this section.
COLOUR_REP	Possible values: Any recognised terminal colour. Analogous commandline switches: None. As above, but sets the colour in which PyXPlot displays its non-error-related output.
COLOUR_WRN	Possible values: Any recognised terminal colour. Analogous commandline switches: None. As above, but sets the colour in which PyXPlot displays its warning messages.
SPLASH	Possible values: ON / OFF Analogous commandline switches: -q, -quiet, -V, -verbose Sets whether the standard welcome message is displayed upon startup.

The colours recognised by the COLOUR_XXX configuration options above are: Red, Green, Brown, Blue, Purple, Magenta, Cyan, White, Normal. The final option produces the default foreground colour of your terminal.
