4.4. The Settings Menu

Settings->Show Tool Bar

Settings->Show Status Bar

This toggles the display of the status bar.

Settings->Show Function Source

This toggles the display of the functions source files in the dialogs for function parameters

Settings->Autoplot

Settings->Calculate PS Bounding Box

This toggles the automatic calculation of the bounding box for generated PostScript files. The calculation needs Ghostscript to be installed and assumes that the Page format in the Basic Settings dialog is set sufficiently large to contain all parts of the plot. Without calculation the bounding box is set according to that page format.

Settings->Save Absolute Paths

Tis toggles the saving of absolute or relative paths of data and library files in plot files. When this option is set on, the paths always saved as absolute. This is the default setting, compatible with older versions of Kpl. When the option is set off, the paths are saved as relative paths to that of the plot file, if possible. This allows to move directory branches containing the plot file and all files it depends on.
