How do I show constellation boundaries in XEphem?

It seems like an odd omission from such a capable package but I can't find it anywhere.How do I show constellation boundaries in XEphem?In the Sky View window select Control-%26gt;Options from the menu. Check the Boundaries tickbox about 2/3rds of the way down.



The predefined views under the History menu have their own independent settings so you will need to open up each one in turn and then resave it (History-%26gt;Edit).



Finally you need to resave the global configuration if you want the changes to stick - in the main window go to Preferences -%26gt; Save. In the window that comes up expand any entries in the list with an unfilled circle by them and check the individual settings marked as having changed before saving.How do I show constellation boundaries in XEphem?sky view window -%26gt; control menu -%26gt; options



under "constellation:" you have your choice of figures and boundaries.
