<p>I'm not trying to make a good looking figure here, but just to show

some examples of customizing rc params 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>

<span class="n">rc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'font'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">weight</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'bold'</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># bold fonts are easier to see</span>

<span class="n">rc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'tick'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">labelsize</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">15</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># tick labels bigger</span>

<span class="n">rc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'lines'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">lw</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">color</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'k'</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># thicker black lines</span>

<span class="n">rc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'grid'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">c</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'0.5'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">ls</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'-'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">lw</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.5</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># solid gray grid lines</span>

<span class="n">rc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'savefig'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">dpi</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">300</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># higher res outputs</span>

</pre></div>

</div>

<p>Then as you are working interactively, you just need to do:</p>

<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">subplot</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">111</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>
