:Parameters:
win : *None*, False, :class:`~psychopy.visual.Window` instance
what window to use for refresh rate testing (if any) and settings. None -> temporary window using
defaults; False -> no window created, used, nor profiled; a Window() instance you have already created
author : *None*, string
None = try to autodetect first __author__ in sys.argv[0]; string = user-supplied author info (of an experiment)
version : *None*, string
None = try to autodetect first __version__ in sys.argv[0]; string = user-supplied version info (of an experiment)
verbose : *False*, True; how much detail to assess
refreshTest : None, False, True, *'grating'*
True or 'grating' = assess refresh average, median, and SD of 60 win.flip()s, using visual.getMsPerFrame()
'grating' = show a visual during the assessment; True = assess without a visual
userProcsDetailed: *False*, True
get details about concurrent user's processses (command, process-ID)
randomSeed: *None*
a way for the user to record, and optionally set, a random seed for making reproducible random sequences
'set:XYZ' will both record the seed, 'XYZ', and set it: random.seed('XYZ'); numpy.random.seed() is NOT set
None defaults to python default;
'time' = use time.time() as the seed, as obtained during RunTimeInfo()
randomSeed='set:time' will give a new random seq every time the script is run, with the seed recorded.
:Returns:
a flat dict (but with several groups based on key names):
psychopy : version, rush() availability
psychopyVersion, psychopyHaveExtRush
experiment : author, version, directory, name, current time-stamp,
SHA1 digest, VCS info (if any, svn or hg only),
experimentAuthor, experimentVersion, ...
system : hostname, platform, user login, count of users, user process info (count, cmd + pid), flagged processes
systemHostname, systemPlatform, ...
window : (see output; many details about the refresh rate, window, and monitor; units are noted)
windowWinType, windowWaitBlanking, ...windowRefreshTimeSD_ms, ... windowMonitor.<details>, ...
python : version of python, versions of key packages (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pyglet, pygame)
pythonVersion, pythonScipyVersion, ...
openGL : version, vendor, rendering engine, plus info on whether several extensions are present
openGLVersion, ..., openGLextGL_EXT_framebuffer_object, ...
- Returns:
new empty dictionary
- Overrides:
object.__init__
