Issue:
Added config file to handle default directories
Figuring out configurable file for the brainglobe directory. Also:
 * downloading bar when retrieving the atlas;
 * name fixes for the atlases 


Discussion / hints:
This should now be fixed.

The way it currently works: There is a bg_config.conf file in the repo. Its position is kept in the variable CONFIG_PATH here: https://github.com/brainglobe/brainatlas-api/blob/8f60bb9c0d41f42bf91e80c20d561ba9aa1ef865/brainatlas_api/config.py#L6

If you can suggest a better way of referencing to the package location, I am happy to change this.

There is no "template" or "dafault" config in the repo, which I can imagine being a pain for version control of we want to avoid weird file duplications. It is written from a standard configuration dictionary here:
https://github.com/brainglobe/brainatlas-api/blob/8f60bb9c0d41f42bf91e80c20d561ba9aa1ef865/brainatlas_api/config.py#L10

so that it is initialised with the valid user root folder. The folder is created in the BGAtlas class the first time we actually need it:

https://github.com/brainglobe/brainatlas-api/blob/8f60bb9c0d41f42bf91e80c20d561ba9aa1ef865/brainatlas_api/bg_atlas.py#L44

To change this location, there's 3 ways:
 - manually editing the `bg_config.conf` file;
 - using `brainatlas_api.config.write_config_value(brainglobe_dir, new_path)`;
 - using a little command line utility: 
```
 > brainatlas_config -k brainglobe_dir -v /Users/luigipetrucco/.brainglobe
```
In the future the configuration could be used to handle other values.

Let me know what you think about all of this, also eg for variable names etc, it would be important to keep this part of the code stable in the future.
Nice one, it looks really good. 

>using a little command line utility:

What's the best way to add tests for this kind of stuff?

Currently `bg_atlas` accepts a `brainglobe_path` argument:
https://github.com/brainglobe/brainatlas-api/blob/8442627ee7b9df35958e7d8989737c956d0d9503/brainatlas_api/bg_atlas.py#L34

How does it interact with the path in the config stuff?

If we agree that we like this scheme I will try to figure out tests, click has some testing modules so it should not be difficult.

Object arguments have full priority over default ones!


Looks good.

I'm not sure if it's a "better" way to reference the package location, but you can also use something like this, that would not be dependent on the location of the file calling the function:
```python
from pkg_resources import resource_filename
CONFIG_PATH =  Path(resource_filename("brainatlas_api", "bg_config.conf"))
```

> ```python
> resource_filename
> ```

Great, I like this more! Then I'll write tests and merge this by today.

-### Note on coordinates in `bg-atlasapi`
-Working with both image coordinates and cartesian coordinates in the same space can be confusing! In `bg-atlasapi`, the origin is always assumed to be in the upper left corner of the image (sectioning along the first dimension), the "ij" convention. This means that when plotting meshes and points using cartesian systems, you might encounter confusing behaviors coming from the fact that in cartesian plots one axis is inverted with respect to  ij coordinates (vertical axis increases going up, image row indexes increase going down). To make things as consistent as possible, in `bg-atlasapi` the 0 of the meshes coordinates is assumed to coincide with the 0 index of the images stack, and meshes coordinates increase following the direction stack indexes increase.
-To deal with transformations between your data space and `bg-atlasapi`, you might find the [brainglobe-space](https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-space) package helpful.

+# Atlas Generation and Adding a New Atlas
+
+For full instructions to add a new BrainGlobe atlas, please see [here](https://brainglobe.info/documentation/brainglobe_atlasapi/adding-a-new-atlas.html).
+
+The `brainglobe_atlasapi.atlas_generation` submodule contains code for the generation of cleaned-up data, for the main `brainglobe_atlasapi` module.
+This code was previously the `bg-atlasgen` module.

+## To contribute
+
+1. Fork this repo
+2. Clone your repo
+3. Run `git clone https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-atlasapi`
+4. Install an editable version of the package; by running `pip install -e .` within the cloned directory
+5. Create a script to package your atlas, and place into `brainglobe_atlasapi/atlas_generation/atlas_scripts`. Please see other scripts for examples.
+
+Your script should contain everything required to run.
+The raw data should be hosted on a publicly accessible repository so that anyone can run the script to recreate the atlas.
+
+If you need to add any dependencies, please add them as an extra in the `pyproject.toml` file, e.g.:
+
+```python
+[project.optional-dependencies]
