Hey everyone,
I wanted to highlight Matthew Emmett's (memmett) PR in progress [1] that
brings the ability to switch between rcParams.
Matthew's implementation started with just being able to read in and use
an rcParam file, and I suggested the idea of having a context manager,
that would allow you to do something like:
with rc_context(fname):
plt.plot()
...
and have the rcParams restored outside of the context.
I know there have been a few threads (can't find links now for some
reason) and in-person discussions in the past about having this kind of
ability in matplotlib, and having an idea of "styles", and Tony Yu
implemented a variant of this on top of matplotlib in mpltools [2], but
I wanted to ping the list here for other ideas and feelings about such
functionality (if anyone can find pointers to previous discussions, that
would be very welcome).
1. https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/861
2. https://github.com/tonysyu/mpltools
best,

Both the original PR and the addition of the context manager are great ideas. Just to clarify, what I implemented in mpltools was a sort-of stylesheet that can be easily accessed (i.e. you don't have to remember the path, just the name; and if you forget that, it's listed in a module attribute). But, I ended up using ConfigObj to parse the rc file instead of using matplotlib's parser. One major disadvantage of that approach is that ConfigObj uses a different syntax than matplotlib's rc parameters. In this sense, the PR would help greatly to fix this discrepancy. Unfortunately, the PR doesn't completely fulfill my needs. I wanted to allow multiple stylesheets to be declared in a single file; this means I'd need to plug into the loop that iterates over the lines of the file. I can push in that direction on the PR, but I don't want to do that unless people think this would be more-generally useful. -Tony |

The minimum requirement of the 1.1 series is still Python 2.4, believe it or not, though I'm not sure practically what the minimum numpy is. The next major release (which will include Python 3 support) bumps the minimum requirement up to Python 2.6.

Right, this was my working assumption when I made the 'with' statement suggestion. Since it's a new feature, it won't make it into the 1.1.x series, and in the next major relase (>= py2.6) we can safely use context managers. best -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 |

Hello, This is a good idea indeed. Especially, when one creates plots for presentations and papers. Usually, I make ticks, ticklabels, axes labels, line widths, marker sizes as large as possible (within reasonable limits) to make them more readable for presentation purposes. However, the same element sizes don't look very pretty when I create the same plots for paper or vice versa. The solution is either keep modify two rc files or adjust one rc file accordingly for each plotting style. Could the syntax be simplfied a bit? Say rather than using that with statement and the extra 4 spaces, can it be just a one simple liner like matplotlib.rcuse(mpl_paper.rc) or matplotlib.rcuse(mpl_presentation.rc)?
