Hi all,

I'm just looking at adding some default Glancer settings (show grid, x/y 
min/max, that sort of thing). At first I followed the other preferences 
like concise_property_notebook, but then how does glancer/Plot.py read 
these? By importing the window object from the main program? Seems messy.

I see aobject.py has functions like get_preference and the like, but 
these seem to be geared towards XML stuff. Ideally there would be a 
global preferences db, so that I could do something like:

from prefs import pref_db
...
if pref_db(<pref_setting>) :
...


Is this already possible in some way? If not, is it worth having? I can 
certainly try to create something that does this if needs be.

Thoughts?

Chris.
