Customize the progress bar

Lightning supports two different types of progress bars (tqdm and rich). TQDMProgressBar is used by default, but you can override it by passing a custom TQDMProgressBar or RichProgressBar to the callbacks argument of the Trainer.

You could also use the ProgressBar class to implement your own progress bar.


TQDMProgressBar

The TQDMProgressBar uses the tqdm library internally and is the default progress bar used by Lightning. It prints to stdout and shows up to four different bars:

  • sanity check progress: the progress during the sanity check run

  • train progress: shows the training progress. It will pause if validation starts and will resume when it ends, and also accounts for multiple validation runs during training when val_check_interval is used.

  • validation progress: only visible during validation; shows total progress over all validation datasets.

  • test progress: only active when testing; shows total progress over all test datasets.

For infinite datasets, the progress bar never ends.

You can update refresh_rate (rate (number of batches) at which the progress bar get updated) for TQDMProgressBar by:

from lightning.pytorch.callbacks import TQDMProgressBar

trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[TQDMProgressBar(refresh_rate=10)])

If you want to customize the default TQDMProgressBar used by Lightning, you can override specific methods of the callback class and pass your custom implementation to the Trainer.

class LitProgressBar(TQDMProgressBar):
    def init_validation_tqdm(self):
        bar = super().init_validation_tqdm()
        bar.set_description("running validation...")
        return bar


trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[LitProgressBar()])

RichProgressBar

Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal. To use the RichProgressBar as your progress bar, first install the package:

pip install rich

Then configure the callback and pass it to the Trainer:

from lightning.pytorch.callbacks import RichProgressBar

trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[RichProgressBar()])

Customize the theme for your RichProgressBar like this:

from lightning.pytorch.callbacks import RichProgressBar
from lightning.pytorch.callbacks.progress.rich_progress import RichProgressBarTheme

# create your own theme!
progress_bar = RichProgressBar(
    theme=RichProgressBarTheme(
        description="green_yellow",
        progress_bar="green1",
        progress_bar_finished="green1",
        progress_bar_pulse="#6206E0",
        batch_progress="green_yellow",
        time="grey82",
        processing_speed="grey82",
        metrics="grey82",
    )
)

trainer = Trainer(callbacks=progress_bar)

You can customize the components used within RichProgressBar with ease by overriding the configure_columns() method.

from rich.progress import TextColumn

custom_column = TextColumn("[progress.description]Custom Rich Progress Bar!")


class CustomRichProgressBar(RichProgressBar):
    def configure_columns(self, trainer):
        return [custom_column]


progress_bar = CustomRichProgressBar()

If you wish for a new progress bar to be displayed at the end of every epoch, you should enable RichProgressBar.leave by passing True

from lightning.pytorch.callbacks import RichProgressBar

trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[RichProgressBar(leave=True)])

참고

Progress bar is automatically enabled with the Trainer, and to disable it, one should do this:

trainer = Trainer(enable_progress_bar=False)
