### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT

# This is a sample matplotlib configuration file - you can find a copy

# of it on your system in

# site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc. If you edit it

# there, please note that it will be overwritten in your next install.

# If you want to keep a permanent local copy that will not be

# overwritten, place it in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux

# like systems) and C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib

# (win32 systems).

#

# This file is best viewed in a editor which supports python mode

# syntax highlighting. Blank lines, or lines starting with a comment

# symbol, are ignored, as are trailing comments. Other lines must

# have the format

# key : val # optional comment

#

# Colors: for the color values below, you can either use - a

# matplotlib color string, such as r, k, or b - an rgb tuple, such as

# (1.0, 0.5, 0.0) - a hex string, such as ff00ff or #ff00ff - a scalar

# grayscale intensity such as 0.75 - a legal html color name, eg red,

# blue, darkslategray

#### CONFIGURATION BEGINS HERE

# the default backend; one of GTK GTKAgg GTKCairo GTK3Agg GTK3Cairo

# CocoaAgg FltkAgg MacOSX QtAgg Qt4Agg TkAgg WX WXAgg Agg Cairo GDK PS

# PDF SVG Template

# You can also deploy your own backend outside of matplotlib by

# referring to the module name (which must be in the PYTHONPATH) as

# 'module://my_backend'

backend : MacOSX

# If you are using the Qt4Agg backend, you can choose here

# to use the PyQt4 bindings or the newer PySide bindings to

# the underlying Qt4 toolkit.

#backend.qt4 : PyQt4 # PyQt4 | PySide

# Note that this can be overridden by the environment variable

# QT_API used by Enthought Tool Suite (ETS); valid values are

# "pyqt" and "pyside". The "pyqt" setting has the side effect of

# forcing the use of Version 2 API for QString and QVariant.

# if you are running pyplot inside a GUI and your backend choice

# conflicts, we will automatically try to find a compatible one for

# you if backend_fallback is True

#backend_fallback: True

#interactive : False

#toolbar : toolbar2 # None | toolbar2 ("classic" is deprecated)

#timezone : UTC # a pytz timezone string, eg US/Central or Europe/Paris

# Where your matplotlib data lives if you installed to a non-default

# location. This is where the matplotlib fonts, bitmaps, etc reside

#datapath : /home/jdhunter/mpldata

### LINES

# See http://matplotlib.org/api/artist_api.html#module-matplotlib.lines for more

# information on line properties.

#lines.linewidth : 1.0 # line width in points

#lines.linestyle : - # solid line

#lines.color : blue # has no affect on plot(); see axes.color_cycle

#lines.marker : None # the default marker

#lines.markeredgewidth : 0.5 # the line width around the marker symbol

#lines.markersize : 6 # markersize, in points

#lines.dash_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel

#lines.dash_capstyle : butt # butt|round|projecting

#lines.solid_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel

#lines.solid_capstyle : projecting # butt|round|projecting

#lines.antialiased : True # render lines in antialised (no jaggies)

### PATCHES

# Patches are graphical objects that fill 2D space, like polygons or

# circles. See

# http://matplotlib.org/api/artist_api.html#module-matplotlib.patches

# information on patch properties

#patch.linewidth : 1.0 # edge width in points

### FONT

#

# font properties used by text.Text. See

# http://matplotlib.org/api/font_manager_api.html for more

# information on font properties. The 6 font properties used for font

# matching are given below with their default values.

#

# The font.family property has five values: 'serif' (e.g. Times),

# 'sans-serif' (e.g. Helvetica), 'cursive' (e.g. Zapf-Chancery),

# 'fantasy' (e.g. Western), and 'monospace' (e.g. Courier). Each of

# these font families has a default list of font names in decreasing

# order of priority associated with them.

#

# The font.style property has three values: normal (or roman), italic

# or oblique. The oblique style will be used for italic, if it is not

# present.

#

# The font.variant property has two values: normal or small-caps. For

# TrueType fonts, which are scalable fonts, small-caps is equivalent

# to using a font size of 'smaller', or about 83% of the current font

# size.

#

# The font.weight property has effectively 13 values: normal, bold,

# bolder, lighter, 100, 200, 300, ..., 900. Normal is the same as

# 400, and bold is 700. bolder and lighter are relative values with

# respect to the current weight.

#

# The font.stretch property has 11 values: ultra-condensed,

# extra-condensed, condensed, semi-condensed, normal, semi-expanded,

# expanded, extra-expanded, ultra-expanded, wider, and narrower. This

# property is not currently implemented.

#

# The font.size property is the default font size for text, given in pts.

# 12pt is the standard value.

#

font.family : serif

#font.style : normal

#font.variant : normal

#font.weight : medium

#font.stretch : normal

# note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure

# special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc

# settings for axes and ticks. Special text sizes can be defined

# relative to font.size, using the following values: xx-small, x-small,

# small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, or smaller

font.size : 18.0

#font.serif : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif

# computer modern sans serif, computer modern typewriter

# If another font is desired which can loaded using the

# LaTeX \usepackage command, please inquire at the

# matplotlib mailing list

#text.latex.unicode : False # use "ucs" and "inputenc" LaTeX packages for handling

# unicode strings.

#text.latex.preamble : # IMPROPER USE OF THIS FEATURE WILL LEAD TO LATEX FAILURES

# AND IS THEREFORE UNSUPPORTED. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR HELP

# IF THIS FEATURE DOES NOT DO WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO.

# preamble is a comma separated list of LaTeX statements

# that are included in the LaTeX document preamble.

# An example:

# text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{bm},\usepackage{euler}

# The following packages are always loaded with usetex, so

# 'none': Perform no hinting

# 'auto': Use freetype's autohinter

# 'native': Use the hinting information in the

# font file, if available, and if your

# freetype library supports it

# or the autohinter if none is available.

# For backward compatibility, this value may also be

# True === 'auto' or False === 'none'.

text.hinting_factor : 8 # Specifies the amount of softness for hinting in the

# horizontal direction. A value of 1 will hint to full

# pixels. A value of 2 will hint to half pixels etc.

# This only affects the Agg backend.

# The following settings allow you to select the fonts in math mode.

# They map from a TeX font name to a fontconfig font pattern.

# These settings are only used if mathtext.fontset is 'custom'.

# Note that this "custom" mode is unsupported and may go away in the

# future.

#mathtext.cal : cursive

#mathtext.rm : serif

#mathtext.tt : monospace

#mathtext.it : serif:italic

# 'path': Embed characters as paths -- supported by most SVG renderers

# 'svgfont': Embed characters as SVG fonts -- supported only by Chrome,

# Opera and Safari

# docstring params

#docstring.hardcopy = False # set this when you want to generate hardcopy docstring

# Set the verbose flags. This controls how much information

# matplotlib gives you at runtime and where it goes. The verbosity

# levels are: silent, helpful, debug, debug-annoying. Any level is

# inclusive of all the levels below it. If your setting is "debug",

# you'll get all the debug and helpful messages. When submitting

# problems to the mailing-list, please set verbose to "helpful" or "debug"

# and paste the output into your report.

#

# The "fileo" gives the destination for any calls to verbose.report.

# These objects can a filename, or a filehandle like sys.stdout.

#

# You can override the rc default verbosity from the command line by

# giving the flags --verbose-LEVEL where LEVEL is one of the legal

# levels, eg --verbose-helpful.

#

# You can access the verbose instance in your code

# from matplotlib import verbose.

#verbose.level : silent # one of silent, helpful, debug, debug-annoying

#verbose.fileo : sys.stdout # a log filename, sys.stdout or sys.stderr
