   Settings
       The following options configure the Bandage settings that are  available  in  the  Bandage
       GUI.

       Colours can be specified using hex values, with or without an alpha channel, (e.g. #FFB6C1
       or #7FD2B48C) or using standard colour names (e.g. red, yellowgreen or skyblue).
              Note that hex colours will either need to be enclosed in quotes (e.g. "#FFB6C1") or
              have the hash symbol escaped (e.g. \#FFB6C1).

       Graph scope

       These  settings  control  the  graph  scope.   If  the aroundnodes scope is used, then the
       --nodes option must also be used.  If the aroundblast scope is used, a BLAST query must be
       given with the --query option

       --scope <scope>
