We could also print a message in stdout: "Using physical/OS indexes by default in the graphic mode, use -l to revert to logical indexes" Anybody that may confuse logical/physical indexes will have to run hwloc-calc/bind from a terminal anyway, so printing this lstopo message to the terminal may help a bit? Otherwise, we could send the message to the soundcard, or by mail, or print it in the sky like the batman signal :)
I am not against printing something directly in the graphic output. Cropping isn't hard indeed. We could even remove it when -s (silent) is given, but -s already switches to text mode unfortunately. Anyway, FWIW, I think I am in favor of switching to physical in graphic output by default. Brice
