Pycoast from a configuration file --------------------------------- If you want to run to avoid typing the same options over and over again, or if caching is an optimization you want, you can use a configuration file with the pycoast options you need: .. code-block:: ini [cache] file=/var/run/satellit/white_overlay regenerate=False [coasts] level=1 width=0.75 outline=white fill=yellow [borders] outline=white width=0.5 Then, you can just call: >>> cw.add_overlay_from_config("my_config.cfg", area_def)
