The config directory¶
You can customize a few things about PIT on your system by editing its configuration directory. You can find the location of this directory by issuing:
pit.get_config_dir()
Colormaps¶
In the cmaps subdirectory under your config dierectory (you can create it
if it does not exist) you can put custom colormaps that will then be
available to PIT.
Colormaps should be simple text files with three columns, representing RGB
values (the scale doesn’t matter), so it could look like this:
0 0 0
200 0 0
400 0 0
800 0 10
[...]
The filename (everything before the first . that appears in the filename)
will be the name under which you can find and load that colormap from within
PIT.
Plugins¶
Any python module that you put in the plugins/ subdirectory will be found
by PIT even if it is not part of the system PYTHONPATH.
Additionally, if you create a simple txt file called autoload.txt in
which you list plugins (the names you would use to import them, one per line),
PIT will attempt to load all of them on startup.
Example contents of an autoload.txt with just one plugin:
ds_arpes_plugin
