Ginga Configuration Files

Warning

To meet JWST Wavefront Sensing analysis needs, QUIP customizes Ginga by installing custom configuration files in your $HOME/.ginga directory. If the configuration files already exist, they will be overwritten. Please make a backup prior to running QUIP for the first time, if desired.

To accomodate the different behaviors of QUIP based on the given operation type (see Using QUIP), Ginga configuration files are separated into three categories below:

Category	Description
ALL	All operation types.
ANALYSIS	Non-mosaic operation types.
MOSAIC	Operation types that involve mosaicking, i.e., THUMBNAIL and SEGMENT_ID.

The table below lists custom Ginga configuration files that are installed installed and used by QUIP:

Filename	Category	Description
general.cfg	ALL	Sets general behaviors, particularly unlimited image cache size and certain header keywords. Also enables primary header inheritance.
