Setting options in VECTRI

It is possible to set options in VECTRI, . This is done in the file vectri.options which you should save in the sub-directory input.

$\begin{block}{vectri.options} You may open the file vectri.options using the tex... ... you wish: \par {\it parameter1=value,} \par {\it parameter2=value,} \end{block}$
The parameters you may specify are given in the follow tables, which associate parameters according to themes:
