Dear All,
I want to change the fontsize used for my legends.
Analogues to the 'title', 'figtext', 'xlabel' and 'ylabel' commands, it
would have been nice to write:
legend(('...'),loc=3D'...',fontsize=3D10)
Unfortunately this is not (yet) implemented...
Time Out:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Can I make a RFC for this feature to be added...?
And the same for the 'axis' command, e.g. 'axis([...],fontsize=3D10)',
would also be a nice addition to mpl.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Back to the fontsize issue:
In 'legend.py':
"...
def __init__(self, parent, handles, labels, loc,
isaxes=3DTrue,
numpoints =3D 4, # the number of points in the
legend line
prop =3D FontProperties(size=3D'smaller'),
pad =3D 0.2, # the fractional whitespace =
inside
the legend border
markerscale =3D 0.6, # the relative size of legend
markers vs. original
# the following dimensions are in axes coords
labelsep =3D 0.005, # the vertical space between =
the
legend entries
handlelen =3D 0.05, # the length of the legend =
lines
handletextsep =3D 0.02, # the space between the legend
line and legend text
axespad =3D 0.02, # the border between the axes =
and
legend edge
shadow=3DFalse,
):
..."
The font is defined as 'smaller', but 'smaller' than what...?
It is not affected (imho) by either of the following settings in my
'matplotlibrc' file:
"...
font.size : 12
...
axes.labelsize : 16
...
tick.labelsize : 10
..."
Kind regards,
Peter-Jan
