## 9.3.4 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.
