Mute download progress bars in helioviewer

[wjwainwright]

Description

Is it possible to add a boolean to the download_png and download_jp2 methods of helioviewer.py? When downloading data in bulk, it is unnecessary to have the console filled up with progress bars for each individual file.

Additional context

I wrote a script that downloads AIA images of multiple wavelengths for the purpose of making movies of the sun. I wrote the script in 0.9.x but noticed this change in 1.0.x.

Thanks for opening the issue, this seems like a sensible addition, also the ability to batch helioviewer downloads would be interesting.

I would suggest to anyone who wants to take a stab at doing this, that _get_file takes a progress keyword argument and then the addition of this keyword argument should be propagated up to the functions which call _get_file.

also the ability to batch helioviewer downloads would be interesting.

Adding a batch downloader would be tricky because over long periods of time the object travels out of frame from cropped windows. I wrote my script such that it adds to the x0 and y0 values depending on the latitude of y0 and the differential rotation in x0 based on latitude. I can share my tracking code if it's something you would be interested in adding. It's not elegant by any stretch but it worked to track an active region across a full week of AIA observations from one side of the sun to the other.

I can work on this! However, I'm not quite sure what the task is. Do we just need a boolean that says whether the download has completed or not?

@Cubostar The task is to add a boolean to disable the progress bars which are shown during the download.

I would suggest to anyone who wants to take a stab at doing this, that _get_file takes a progress keyword argument and then the addition of this keyword argument should be propagated up to the functions which call _get_file.

So you will have to add a boolean argument progress to

sunpy/sunpy/net/helioviewer.py

Line 410 in 73eb7ec

def _get_file(self, params, directory=None, overwrite=False):

And this argument should be passed down to parfive.

The argument should also be introduced in functions which use _get_file, for example here

sunpy/sunpy/net/helioviewer.py

Line 191 in 73eb7ec

return self._get_file(params, directory=directory, overwrite=overwrite)
