Top
In the etc subdirectory, you will find a configuration file Config.prc. This controls several of Panda's configuration options - does it use OpenGL or DirectX, how much debugging output does it print, and so forth. The following table lists several of the most commonly-used variables.

To know about accessing config variables from within your code, please see Accessing Config Vars in a Program.
To get a more complete list of variables, see the list of all config variables.
