matplotlib.rcsetup¶

The rcsetup module contains the default values and the validation code for customization using matplotlib’s rc settings.

Each rc setting is assigned a default value and a function used to validate any attempted changes to that setting. The default values and validation functions are defined in the rcsetup module, and are used to construct the rcParams global object which stores the settings and is referenced throughout matplotlib.

These default values should be consistent with the default matplotlibrc file that actually reflects the values given here. Any additions or deletions to the parameter set listed here should also be visited to the matplotlibrc.template in matplotlib’s root source directory.

class matplotlib.rcsetup.ValidateInStrings(key, valid, ignorecase=False)¶

Bases: object

valid is a list of legal strings

class matplotlib.rcsetup.ValidateInterval(vmin, vmax, closedmin=True, closedmax=True)¶

Bases: object

Value must be in interval

matplotlib.rcsetup.cycler(*args, **kwargs)¶

Creates a cycler.Cycler object much like cycler.cycler(), but includes input validation.

cycler(arg) cycler(label, itr) cycler(label1=itr1[, label2=itr2[, …]])

Form 1 simply copies a given Cycler object.

Form 2 creates a Cycler from a label and an iterable.

Form 3 composes a Cycler as an inner product of the pairs of keyword arguments. In other words, all of the iterables are cycled simultaneously, as if through zip().

Parameters:	arg : Cycler Copy constructor for Cycler. label : name The property key. Must be a valid Artist property. For example, ‘color’ or ‘linestyle’. Aliases are allowed, such as ‘c’ for ‘color’ and ‘lw’ for ‘linewidth’. itr : iterable Finite-length iterable of the property values. These values are validated and will raise a ValueError if invalid.
Returns:	cycler : Cycler New cycler.Cycler for the given properties
