# Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Laydi reads configuration from two types of configuration files. The main configuration is read from `/etc/laydirc/` and `$HOME/.laydi`. The possible variables in this configuration are described in the section Laydi configuration below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other file is the settings file for the matplotlib plotting package that is used in Laydi. This package has a lot of settings on its own, and instead of incorporating it into the general laydi configuration file it is distributed as a separate `matplotlibrc` file with options suitable for use in Laydi.

### Directories
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### datadir
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
datadir is a directory for datasets. There are helper functions that makes it easy for a workflow to load data from this directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### cachedir
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cachedir is a directory where laydi can write cached data at will.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### workflowdir
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
workflowdir is a path of directories where Laydi should look for workflows. When Laydi is started the `-w ''workflow''` option, these are the directories that will be searched for workflows. Note that *all* directories in `workflowdir` are added to the python path. If you add your own workflow directory, make sure that no files in the directory interfere with Laydi modules or standard Python modules.

|
|
## Matplotlib configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Matplotlib is configured with a matplotlib configuration file included with laydi. Documentation for the various options are included as comments in the file itself.
