The User config window#
The User config window allows the user to customize the bahaviour of their pydidas copy. The individual Parameters are described below.
Using the Restore defaults button will change all settings back to
their default values.
Font settings#
The font size and font family can be selected with the respective controls. These settings are global for the full pydidas user interface. Font sizes between 5 and 20 points are supported.
The selection of fonts relies on the available system fonts. All TrueType scalable systems fonts are also available in pydidas.
The pydidas user interface will rescale itself based on the font metrics of the selection font size & family configuration. Selecting larger fonts will grow all widgets and allows to rescale for high-DPI displays.
Settings#
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
Mosaic tiling border width |
The width (in pixels) of the border between adjacent images in composites. |
Mosaic border value |
The value to be assigned to the pixels on the border between adjacent images. |
Histogram outlier fraction |
[This setting is for 2D image displays only]. This Parameter defines which portion of the histogram should be ignored when defining the upper limit for the colormap. The default value of 0.07 means that the top 7% of the histogram will be ignored for setting the colormap. The default value was selected to cover all pixels in module gaps for an Eiger 9M detector. |
Default colormap |
The default colormap to be used for displaying 2D datasets. The colormap can still be changed in each individual data window but those changes are not persistent. |
Plugins#
The Plugin paths allows to modify the path where pydidas plugins are located or to add additional paths, for example for custom plugins. Entries must be separated by a double semicolon “;;”.
Changes to the plugin path will only take effect after using the
Update plugin collection button.
