=====================================================
Finding out where the config and filestore are
=====================================================

Easily locating your config file and filestore locations.
This comes in useful when things don't work because the config file is not set correctly.


.. code-block:: default

    from __future__ import print_function
    import cortex
    from cortex.options import config


Finding where your config file is.


.. code-block:: default

    print(cortex.options.usercfg)


Finding where the current filestore is.
Useful for when your subjects don't show up in cortex.db, and all you have is S1.


.. code-block:: default

    print(config.get('basic', 'filestore'))


Finding where pycortex is looking for colormaps.
Useful for when you get color map not found messages.


.. code-block:: default

    print(config.get('webgl', 'colormaps'))


To look at your config file, it is recommended that you open it with a text editor.
However, you *can* still look at options from within pycortex.


.. code-block:: default


    # sections gets the upper-level sections in the config file
    sections = config.sections()
    print(sections)

    # items gets the option items within a section as a list of key-value pairs.
    basic_config = config.items('paths_default')
    print(basic_config)
