Miscellaneous¶
Settings files¶
The lfd
package and its subpackages have a settings.py
file with setting variables.
You can easily override these variables by creating a package lfd_settings
with the same structure as lfd
.
The variable that should be overriden can be defined in the corresponding settings.py
file of the lfd_settings
package.
This is best illustrated with an example.
Suppose you want to override the EM_ITER
variable from the lfd.registration.settings
module to be 5
instead.
First, you can generate the lfd_settings
package with the provided script:
cd /path/to/lfd
python scripts/make_lfd_settings_package.py ../lfd_settings/lfd_settings
Remember to add the lfd_settings
package to your PYTHONPATH
:
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/lfd_settings:$PYTHONPATH
Then, in the file /path/to/lfd_settings/lfd_settings/registration/settings.py
, add python code that overrides the EM_ITER
variable:
EM_ITER = 5
Downloading test data¶
First navigate to the bigdata
directory, and then run the download.py
script.
Cache files¶
By default, some functions cache results in the default cache directory /path/to/lfd/.cache/
. If you are running out of space, consider deleting this directory.
