Description

Add global configuration settings

Allow py4DSTEM functions to search for globally defined settings rather than requiring args/kwargs set per function call.

py4DSTEM.config.set_GPU(True) or py4DSTEM.config = {'GPU' : True}, etc.

  • Determine minimal implementation that will not break the existing code.
  • Workout which settings should be stored in global config.
  • Determine how ephemeral the config is - per session vs stored in a file and loaded.
  • Determine how global config is overruled by local args/kwargs.
  • create new functions that search for global config and args/kwargs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing py4DSTEM function arguments and kwargs to identify settings that could be shared globally. Define the intended configuration scope, persistence, and precedence between global values and local arguments, then verify that affected functions can search and apply the configuration without breaking current calls.
