Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to change the size of the numbers under the axis

[Fabien L. <laf...@gm...>]

Hi,

But how can I do it for every graph and without creating axis?



I've seen this example:

import numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plt.figure creates a matplotlib.figure.Figure instancefig =
plt.figure()rect = fig.patch # a rectangle
instancerect.set_facecolor('lightgoldenrodyellow')
ax1 = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.4])rect =
ax1.patchrect.set_facecolor('lightslategray')

for label in ax1.xaxis.get_ticklabels():
    # label is a Text instance
    label.set_color('red')
    label.set_rotation(45)
    label.set_fontsize(16)


I don't manage to use only  label.set_fontsize(16). It looks so
complicated.
