3.5.9  More configuration

You can configure other aspects of Xcas (besides the computatioonal aspects and graphics) using the the menu item Cfg▸General configuration. You will then be given a window in which you can change the following options:

• Font
  This lets you choose a session font, the same as choosing the menu item Cfg▸Session font.
• Level
  This will determine what type of level should be open when you start a new session.
• browser
  This will determine what browser Xcas should use when it requires one, for example when displaying help. If this is empty, Xcas will use its built-in browser.
• Auto HTML help
  If this box is checked, then whenever you choose a function from a menu, a help page for that function will appear in your browser. Regardless of whether this box is checked or not, the help page will also appear in your browser if you type ?function in a command box.
• Auto index help If this box is checked, then whenever you choose a function from a menu, the help index page for that function will appear. This is the same page you would get from choosing the function from the help index.
• Print format
  This will determine the paper size for printing and saving files. There is also a button you can use to have the printing done in landscape mode; if this button is not checked, the printing will be done in portrait.
• Disable Tool tips
  If this is checked, Xcas will stop displaying tool tips.
• rows and columns
  These will determind the default number of rows and columns for the matrix editor and spreadsheet.
• PS view
