Listing all configuration variables

The preceding table only shows a selection of the most commonly used configuration variables. To get a list of all configuration variables available in Panda3D, insert the following import statement and method call into your application code:

from panda3d.core import ConfigVariableManager
ConfigVariableManager.getGlobalPtr().listVariables()

Loading a specific configuration file

You do not need to put all engine settings into the global configuration file shown in this recipe. Instead, you can use the following function to load settings from any given file:

loadPrcFile("myconfig.prc")

You should put this call to a global scope to make sure settings are loaded before the engine systems that are using them are initialized.

Embedding configuration data in Python code

You can also put settings directly into your Python code files. Just add something similar to the following snippet to the global scope:

configVars = """
win-size 1440 900
fullscreen 1
"""

loadPrcFileData("", configVars)
