<p>I'm not trying to make a good looking figure here, but just to show
some examples of customizing <a class="reference internal" href="../../api/matplotlib_configuration_api.html#matplotlib.rcParams" title="matplotlib.rcParams"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rcParams</span></code></a> on the fly.</p>
<p>If you like to work interactively, and need to create different sets
of defaults for figures (e.g., one set of defaults for publication, one
set for interactive exploration), you may want to define some
functions in a custom module that set the defaults, e.g.,:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">set_pub</span><span class="p">():</span>
<span class="n">rcParams</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">update</span><span class="p">({</span>
<span class="s2">"font.weight"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">"bold"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># bold fonts</span>
<span class="s2">"tick.labelsize"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">15</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># large tick labels</span>
<span class="s2">"lines.linewidth"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># thick lines</span>
<span class="s2">"lines.color"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">"k"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># black lines</span>
<span class="s2">"grid.color"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">"0.5"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># gray gridlines</span>
<span class="s2">"grid.linestyle"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">"-"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># solid gridlines</span>
<span class="s2">"grid.linewidth"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mf">0.5</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># thin gridlines</span>
<span class="s2">"savefig.dpi"</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">300</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1"># higher resolution output.</span>
<span class="p">})</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then as you are working interactively, you just need to do:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">set_pub</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">plot</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">])</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">savefig</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'myfig'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">rcdefaults</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="c1"># restore the defaults</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
