ABC has a number of configuration options. If you are using the GUI you can change these with the configuration dialog. If you are working from the command line you can use the set command. The set command works from the GUI as well and it can save the hassle of going through the configuration dialog when you need to make a small change.
The set command takes the form: set <setting>=<value>
Where <setting> is the setting to change and <value> is the new value for the setting.
Setting | Values |
---|---|
anglemode | degrees, radians or grads |
outmode | binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal |
roundmode | none, fixed, scientific. If you specify fixed or scientific you need to append the number of decimal places or significant figures. For example: set roundmode=fixed, 3 |
precision | The number of bits of precision to use. Should be a multiple of 32 |
