class Params

A global PlantCV parameters class.

class plantcv.Params

Params is a class that stores global PlantCV attributes. An instance of Params is created on import automatically as plantcv.params. Updated PlantCV functions import the plantcv.params instance to access globally configured attributes.

Attributes

Attributes are accessed as plantcv.attribute.

device: A counter for image processing steps that is autoincremented by functions that use params. Default = 0.

debug: Debugging mode. Values are None, "print", or "plot". Default = None.

debug_outdir: The directory to output debug images to when plantcv.debug = "print".

Example

Updated PlantCV functions use params implicitly, so overriding the params defaults will alter the behavior of updated functions. In the meantime, it can also be used with older-style functions.

from plantcv import plantcv as pcv

# Set debug to plot instead of None
pcv.params.debug = "plot"

# Use a pre-v3 function to open an image
# Note that pcv.params.debug is passed to the debug argument
img, imgpath, imgname = pcv.readimage(filename="test.png")

# Use a v3 function to create a region of interest
# Note that debug is not explicitly provided but is used implicitly by the function
roi_contour, roi_hierarchy = pcv.roi.rectangle(x=0, y=0, h=100, w=100, img=img)
