Global Configuration Options

PyQtGraph has several global configuration options that allow you to change its default behavior. These can be accessed using the setConfigOptions() and getConfigOption() functions:

Option	Type	Default
leftButtonPan	bool	True	If True, dragging the left mouse button over a ViewBox causes the view to be panned. If False, then dragging the left mouse button draws a rectangle that the ViewBox will zoom to.
foreground	See mkColor()	‘d’	Default foreground color for text, lines, axes, etc.
background	See mkColor()	‘k’	Default background for GraphicsView.
antialias	bool	False	Enabling antialiasing causes lines to be drawn with smooth edges at the cost of reduced performance.
imageAxisOrder	str	‘col-major’	For ‘row-major’, image data is expected in the standard row-major (row, col) order. For ‘col-major’, image data is expected in reversed column-major (col, row) order. The default is ‘col-major’ for backward compatibility, but this may change in the future.
editorCommand	str or None	None	Command used to invoke code editor from ConsoleWidget.
exitCleanup	bool	True	Attempt to work around some exit crash bugs in PyQt and PySide.
useWeave	bool	False	Use weave to speed up some operations, if it is available.
weaveDebug	bool	False	Print full error message if weave compile fails.
useOpenGL	bool	False	Enable OpenGL in GraphicsView. This can have unpredictable effects on stability and performance.
enableExperimental	bool	False	Enable experimental features (the curious can search for this key in the code).
crashWarning	bool	False	If True, print warnings about situations that may result in a crash.

pyqtgraph.setConfigOptions(**opts)

Set global configuration options.

Each keyword argument sets one global option.

pyqtgraph.getConfigOption(opt)

Return the value of a single global configuration option.
