**Summary:** Contains cache settings.

**Module:** [aspose.imaging](/imaging/python-net/aspose.imaging/)

**Full Name:** aspose.imaging.Cache

## **Properties**
| **Name** | **Type** | **Access** | **Description** |
| :- | :- | :- | :- |
| [allocated_disk_bytes_count](#allocated_disk_bytes_count1) [static] | int | r | Gets the allocated disk bytes count. |
| [allocated_memory_bytes_count](#allocated_memory_bytes_count2) [static] | int | r | Gets the allocated in-memory bytes count. |
| cache_folder [static] | string | r/w | Gets or sets the cache folder. |
| [cache_type](#cache_type3) [static] | [CacheType](/imaging/python-net/aspose.imaging/cachetype/) | r/w | Gets or sets the cache scheme used. |
| [exact_reallocate_only](#exact_reallocate_only4) [static] | bool | r/w | Gets or sets a value indicating whether reallocation should be exact or not. If reallocation is non exact the performance should be higher. |
| [max_disk_space_for_cache](#max_disk_space_for_cache5) [static] | int | r/w | Gets or sets the maximum available disk space for cache. The value specified is megabytes count. |
| [max_memory_for_cache](#max_memory_for_cache6) [static] | int | r/w | Gets or sets the maximum available memory for cache in memory. The value specified is megabytes count. |
## **Methods**
| **Name** | **Description** |
| :- | :- |
| set_defaults() | Sets the [Cache](/imaging/python-net/aspose.imaging/cache/) settings to defaults. |
