Styles#

Styles are defined in a configuration file by stylist.style.Style objects.

Extending an Existing Style#

To add a new rule to an existing style just add an instance of the rule class to the constructor argument list. You may need to modify the import statements to make it available for use.

For instance:

 from stylist.fortran import (FortranCharacterset,
-                             MissingImplicit)
+                             MissingImplicit,
+                             MissingOnly)
 from stylist.rule import TrailingWhitespace
 from stylist.style import Style

 lfric = Style(
               FortranCharacterset(),
               TrailingWhitespace(),
-              MissingImplicit()
+              MissingImplicit(),
+              MissingOnly(ignore=['pfunit_mod', 'xios'])
              )

Adding a New Style#

As intimated above, this a simple matter of creating a new style object variable.

 from stylist.fortran import (FortranCharacterset,
                              MissingImplicit,
                              MissingOnly)
 from stylist.rule import TrailingWhitespace
 from stylist.style import Style

 lfric = Style(
               FortranCharacterset(),
               TrailingWhitespace(),
               MissingImplicit(),
               MissingOnly(ignore=['pfunit_mod', 'xios'])
              )

+special = Style(FortranCharacterset(),
+                TrailingWhitespace(),
+                MissingImplicit())
