verbose = true |
produce readable
messages to see what's going on, otherwise both programs
will show only error messages
|
interactive = true
|
start pdx always in interactive mode, not recommended
|
encoding = UTF-8 |
tells pdx the encoding of the
console where pdx runs, this encoding is also used if we
don't have any better specification. This option is
responsible for handling text correctly (for instance
comments, especially text with german umlauts) in all inputs
and outputs. On a modern system you will use UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1,
depending on what your shell is using. pdx allows ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, Windows1252, ASCII/CP437 and ASCII/CP850. |
midnight = 2:00
|
defines the time to be used
as "logical midnight". This option has an impact on
functions of pdx, for instance on the statistic functions,
and allows a value which comes after midnight still to
belong to the previous day. This has been found useful in
many situations. If this option is not set 0:00 is being
used for "logical midnight". |
period = from to color |
defines a time period. from and to are dates, color is a color in
the well known #
notation,
Example:
period = 2011-01-27
2011-03-19 #EFEFEF
There could be many of such definitions in the .pdrxrc file.
pdx will colorize the background of it's diagrams in the
specified color if a diagram contains a time span from a
defined time period. This is very helpful for visualizing
holidays, travels or experimental phases. |
