Make plot_config and choice of renderer a global config

[dorisjlee]

As described here,plot_config is used for setting the plotting style for the rendered visualization. Currently, this is a property that is tied with the dataframe, we should extend this to make this a global config setting (e.g., lux.config.plot_setting). The configuration is dependent on the choice of renderer too, so it makes sense to have this as a global setting.

@jinimukh: Before we close this issue, could we add some documentation for this?

# Collecting basic usage statistics for Lux
lux.logger = True # Remove this line if you do not want your interactions recorded
df_train = pd.read_csv('../input/jane-street-market-prediction/train.csv')
lux.config.default_display = "lux"
df_train
So while executing this, I found this error that module 'lux' has no attribute 'config'. Can anyone suggest what to do?

Hi @Chandrachud23 , lux.config is supported only the most recent version of Lux.You can install the latest version by:

pip install lux-api==0.2.1
jupyter nbextension install --py luxwidget
jupyter nbextension enable --py luxwidget

Note that you may have to restart your jupyter notebook after doing this so that the change is reflected.

Note that the lux.config and lux.logger are optional commands. Lux should work as expected if you simply inputted:

df_train = pd.read_csv('../input/jane-street-market-prediction/train.csv')
df_train

Let us know if you are still experiencing problems with this after the suggested fix.
