colorOrNot

layoutXL colorOrNot boolean { t | nil }

Description

When set to t, the environment variable enables the macro coloring scheme for hard blocks and soft blocks. The default highlight setting is hilite drawing for hard blocks and hilite drawing1 for soft blocks.

However, you can use the hardBlockColor and softBlockColor environment variables to assign different highlight colors for hard blocks and soft blocks so that they are visually distinguishable in the layout canvas.
