matplotlib.pyplot.rc
-
matplotlib.pyplot.rc(*args, **kwargs)
-
Set the current rc params. Group is the grouping for the rc, e.g., for
lines.linewidth
the group islines
, foraxes.facecolor
, the group isaxes
, and so on. Group may also be a list or tuple of group names, e.g., (xtick, ytick). kwargs is a dictionary attribute name/value pairs, e.g.,:rc('lines', linewidth=2, color='r')
sets the current rc params and is equivalent to:
rcParams['lines.linewidth'] = 2 rcParams['lines.color'] = 'r'
The following aliases are available to save typing for interactive users:
Alias Property ‘lw’ ‘linewidth’ ‘ls’ ‘linestyle’ ‘c’ ‘color’ ‘fc’ ‘facecolor’ ‘ec’ ‘edgecolor’ ‘mew’ ‘markeredgewidth’ ‘aa’ ‘antialiased’ Thus you could abbreviate the above rc command as:
rc('lines', lw=2, c='r')
Note you can use python’s kwargs dictionary facility to store dictionaries of default parameters. e.g., you can customize the font rc as follows:
font = {'family' : 'monospace', 'weight' : 'bold', 'size' : 'larger'} rc('font', **font) # pass in the font dict as kwargs
This enables you to easily switch between several configurations. Use
matplotlib.style.use('default')
orrcdefaults()
to restore the default rc params after changes.
