set display

set display grey|greyscale|color <black|white>

Sets the mode of the display.

By default, the mode is color, where shading and contouring is done with a rainbow of colors. When using a monochrome display, these colors may not map to greyscale in a pleasing way. When the mode is set to greyscale, contours are displayed using a single grey level, and shaded contours are done using a sequence of greyscales.

You may optionally set the hardware background color to black or white. The default is black.

Issuing: set display grey white gives a result on the display that is very similar to the output produced by gxps.

Usage Note
