set-show-graphic

Show codes or glyphs for some characters.

By default, Epsilon displays most control characters (codes below 32) by prefixing to them a caret, e.g., Control C appears as "^C". It displays other characters, including national characters, with their graphic symbol (glyph). Epsilon has four different modes for displaying all these characters.

In mode 0, Epsilon displays Meta characters (characters with codes from 160 to 255, meaning ASCII characters but with the 8th bit on) by prefixing to them a "M-", e.g., Meta C appears as "M-C". Epsilon display Control-meta characters (128 to 159) by prefixing to them "M-^", e.g., "M-^C". Epsilon displays most control characters (codes from 0 to 31) by prefixing to them a caret, e.g., Control C appears as "^C". Other characters are shown with their usual glyph.

In mode 1, Epsilon uses glyphs to display all the above characters (except for the few that have a special meaning, like <Tab> or <Newline>).

In mode 2, hex mode, Epsilon displays all characters outside the range 32 to 127 (including control and meta characters) by their hexadecimal ASCII values, with an "x" before them to indicate hex.

In mode 3, which is the default, Epsilon displays control characters as "^C", and shows glyphs for all other characters, as described above.

If you provide no numeric argument, this command cycles to the next mode in the above list. A numeric argument of 0, 1, 2, or 3 selects the corresponding mode.
