# 1.52 set

    set <option> <value>

The `set` command is used to configure the values of a wide range of parameters within Pyxplot which control its behaviour and the style of the output which it produces. For example:

    set pointsize 2

would set the size of points plotted by Pyxplot to be twice the default. In the majority of cases, the syntax follows that above: the `set` command should be followed by a keyword which specifies which parameter should be set, followed by the value to which that parameter should be set. Those parameters which work in an on/off fashion take a different syntax along the lines of:

`set key` | `# Set option ON`
`set nokey` | `# Set option OFF`

More details of the effects of each individual parameter 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. Chapter 9 describes how commonly used settings can be saved into a configuration file.
