TFSettings

TFSettings provides global settings management for TFire. It allows users to configure and persist various settings across sessions. It includes the following settings:

• projectdir: The directory of the TFire folder
• datadir: The directory for storing data (usually a "TSData" subdirectory within the TFire folder)
• default_internet_service: The default service for fetching internet data
• api_keys: A dictionary mapping internet data sources to their respective API keys
• theme : The color theme for TFire. Options are ":light" and ":dark"
• plot_price_as: The default price type for plotting. Options are ":line" and ":candlestick"

Saving and Loading Settings

TFSettings can be loaded and saved using the following functions:

• TFSettings_save(): Saves the current TFSettings to a JSON file in the project directory
• TFSettings_load(): Loads TFSettings from the JSON file in the project directory

The settings are automatically loaded when TFire is launched but needs to be manually saved before exiting to persist.

Getting And Setting Settings

To get and set various settings in TFSettings:

• Access settings directly: TFSettings.projectdir, TFSettings.datadir, etc.
