Config Keys

Below is a list and description of all available config keys along with their default values. See the Config module for information on how to customise them.


Global Settings

enable_notifications: bool, defaults to True

toggles the output of notifications to stdout when a tool is running

unit_size: int, defaults to 500

sets the scaling size of all ATK figures.

output_backend: str, defaults to canvas

sets the output backend used to generate bokeh figures, from: svg, canvas, webgl. The former is the slowest, and should only be used when printing to PDF. The latter is the fastest, but support is limited (see the Bokeh documentation for details)

show_toolbars: str, defaults to True

enables/disables the toolbar in all plots

show_grids: str, defaults to True

enables/disables the background grid in all ATK figures

show_titles: str, defaults to True

enables/disables titles in all ATK figures

font_size: int, defaults to 14

sets the font size of all text in all ATK figures

font: str, defaults to Helvetica

sets the font used in any text in ATK figures


Query Settings

query_data_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius used in data queries in arcseconds

query_bulkdata_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius for bulkdata queries in arcseconds

query_lightcurve_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius for lightcurve queries in arcseconds

query_spectrum_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius for spectrum queries in arcseconds

query_sed_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius for sed queries in arcseconds

query_reddening_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius for reddening queries in arcseconds

query_image_size: int, defaults to 30

sets the default image size to be used in image queries in arcseconds

query_image_overlays: str, defaults to gaia

sets the default detection overlays to use in image queries

query_image_band: str, defaults to g

sets the default band to use in image queries

query_lightcurve_atlas_username: str, defaults to None

sets the default ATLAS username to use in ATLAS lightcurve queries

query_lightcurve_atlas_password: str, defaults to None

sets the default ATLAS password to use in ATLAS lightcurve queries


Image Overlay Settings

gaia_overlay_mag: str, defaults to phot_g_mean_mag

sets the default band to use in Gaia detection overlays

galex_overlay_mag: str, defaults to NUVmag

sets the default band to use in GALEX detection overlays

wise_overlay_mag: str, defaults to W1mag

sets the default band to use in WISE detection overlays

sdss_overlay_mag: str, defaults to gPmag

sets thedefault band to use in SDSS detection overlays

twomass_overlay_mag: str, defaults to Jmag

sets the default band to use in 2MASS detection overlays

panstarrs_overlay_mag: str, defaults to gmag

sets the default band to use in Pan-STARRS detection overlays

skymapper_overlay_mag: str, defaults to gPSF

sets the default band to use in SkyMapper detection overlays

overlay_piggyback_radius: float, defaults to 5

sets the default ‘piggyback’ radius to use in arcseconds when proper motion correcting non-Gaia detections in imaging overlays. Larger radius will result in more detections being corrected, but a larger chance of this correction being erroneous.


Search Settings

search_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius used in Vizier/SIMBAD searches using the search() tool in arcseconds


Datapage Settings

datapage_search_button_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius used in Vizier/SIMBAD buttons in arcseconds

datapage_datatable_radius: float, defaults to 3

sets the default search radius used for populating datatables in arcseconds

datapage_font_size: int, defaults to 12

sets the default font size when formatting plots with grid()

datapage_grid_size: int, defaults to 250

sets the default size of datapage grids
