Config¶

Methods:

class Leap.Config¶

The Config class provides access to Leap Motion system configuration information.

You can get and set gesture configuration parameters using the Config object obtained from a connected Controller object (Controller.config).

After setting a configuration value, you must call the save() method to commit the changes. You can call save() after the Controller has connected to the Leap Motion service/daemon. In other words, after the Controller has dispatched the serviceConnected or connected events or Controller.isConnected is true. The configuration value changes are not persistent; your application needs to set the values everytime it runs.

• KeyTapGesture
• ScreenTapGesture
• SwipeGesture

classmethod Config()¶

Constructs a Config object.

Do not create your own Config objects; rather, access the Config object of a connected controller with: Controller.config.

config = controller.config

New in version 1.0.

get(key)¶

Gets the current value of a configuration variable.

min_swipe_length = config.get("Gesture.Swipe.MinLength")

Parameters:	key (string) – The name of the configuration variable.
Returns:	the value currently associated with the specified key.

set(key, value)¶

Sets a configuration variable to the specified value locally. The change in value is not effective until the save() method is called.

config.set("Gesture.Swipe.MinLength", 100)

Parameters:	key (string) – The name of the configuration variable. value (must be convertible to the type specified by the type parameter) – The value to set.

save()¶

Saves the current state of the config.

controller.config.set("Gesture.Circle.MinRadius", 15);
controller.config.set("Gesture.Circle.MinArc", 1.7);
success = controller.config.save();

Call save() after making a set of configuration changes. The save() function transfers the configuration changes to the Leap Motion service. You can call save() after the Controller has connected to the Leap Motion service/daemon. In other words, after the Controller has dispatched the serviceConnected or connected events or Controller.isConnected is true.The configuration value changes are not persistent; your application must set the values everytime it runs.

Returns:	True on success; False on failure.
