Set the graphics symbols for screen displays (default " |————||.-|++.##<><>\^"_\\#{}.}..## #}|-\\/*!)(0#@*/-\\||\\-//-\\| |\\-/"). If specified, the graphics option should come last, followed by a string of 1-69 characters to be used instead of the default map-drawing characters. The dungeon map will use the characters you specify instead of the default symbols. Remember that you may need to escape some of these characters if, for example, you use csh. The DECgraphics and IBMgraphics options use predefined selections of graphics symbols, so you need not go to the trouble of setting up a full graphics string for these common cases. These two options also set up proper handling of graphics characters for such terminals, so you should specify them as appropriate even if you override the selections with your own graphics string.

Note that this option string is now escape-processed in conventional C fashion. This means that '\' is a prefix to take the following character literally, and not as a special prefix. Your graphics strings for NetHack 2.2 and older versions may contain a '\'; it must be doubled for the same effect now. The special escape form '\m' switches on the meta bit in the following character, and the '^' prefix causes the following character to be treated as a control character (so any '^' in your old graphics strings should be changed to '\^' now). Also note that there are more symbols in a different order than used for NetHack 3.0.

The order of the symbols is: solid rock, vertical wall, horizontal wall, upper left corner, upper right corner, lower left corner, lower right corner, cross wall, upward T wall, downward T wall, leftward T wall, rightward T wall, no door, vertical open door, horizontal open door, vertical closed door, horizontal closed door, floor of a room, dark corridor, lit corridor, stairs up, stairs down, ladder up, ladder down, trap, web, altar, throne, kitchen sink, fountain, pool or moat, ice, lava, vertical lowered drawbridge, horizontal lowered drawbridge, vertical raised drawbridge, horizontal raised drawbridge, air, cloud, under water, vertical beam, horizontal beam, left slant, right slant, digging beam, camera flash beam, left boomerang, right boomerang, four glyphs giving the sequence for magic resistance displays; the eight surrounding glyphs for swallowed display; nine glyphs for explosions. An explosion consists of three rows (top, middle, and bottom) of three characters. The explosion is centered in the center of this 3 by 3 array.

You might want to use '+' for the corners and T walls for a more aesthetic, boxier display. Note that in the next release, new symbols may be added, or the present ones rearranged.Cannot be set with the O command.

Set the characters used to display monster classes (default "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@ \&;:~]"). This string is subjected to the same processing as the graphics option.

Cannot be set with the O command.
