# Pycoast from a configuration file

If you want to run to avoid typing the same options over and over again, or if caching is an optimization you want, you can use a configuration file with the pycoast options you need:

    [cache]
    file=/var/run/satellit/white_overlay
    regenerate=False

    [coasts]
    level=1
    width=0.75
    outline=white
    fill=yellow

    [borders]
    outline=white
    width=0.5

Then, you can just call:

    >>> cw.add_overlay_from_config("my_config.cfg", area_def)
