The Malaga startup file ``.malagarc''

If you prefer some options that you want to use with every Malaga project, you may create your personal startup file in your home directory, called `` .malagarc''. You can enter malaga and mallex options in the same manner as you do in the project file:


malaga: set hidden +semantics
malaga: set robust on

mallex: set hidden +semantics +syntax

The options in the project file are used first, so you can override options in the project file by setting them in the startup file. In the startup file, you should set the display option if you want to use the graphical display program written in TCL/Tk.

You can set some attributes of the graphical user interface, namely the position, the size, and the font size of each window that is part of the user interface. Here is an example which sets every option available:


result_geometry: 628x480+640+0
result_font_size: 12

tree_geometry: 628x480+640+512
tree_font_size: 12

path_geometry: 628x480+640+0
path_font_size: 12

variables_geometry: 628x480+0+512
variables_font_size: 12

The geometry defines the size and/or position of each window. The first two numbers (`` 628x480'') define the width and the height of the window in pixels, the last two numbers (`` +640+512'') define the position of its upper left corner. The available font sizes are 8, 10, 12, 14, and 18 pixels.
