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 |
‘d’ |
Default foreground color for text, lines, axes, etc. |
background |
See |
‘k’ |
Default background for |
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. |
useOpenGL |
bool |
False |
Enable OpenGL in GraphicsView. |
useCupy |
bool |
False |
Use cupy to perform calculations on the GPU. Only currently applies to ImageItem and its associated functions. |
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. |
