Hi,

I started working on styles based on which support the figure is 
designed for (as of now, I've got 'paper', 'notebook', 'talk', 'poster').

For those, in a style point of view, I think only the text size should 
be modified (got it done, just need to get the proper sizes for each 
style), which is unlike the 'seaborn' way of doing it. Thing is, by 
doing so, we don't mess with any style we could apply using Cascading 
styles.

Also, I was thinking that I should set the export settings for each of 
those styles, but also get an export style folder (with a few good 
parameters). This would mean no more need to adjust dpi, file format, 
figure size...

Finally, I could add a folder for specific papers, in which the figure 
parameters would be tweaked so that we can directly be in a specific 
paper format. I guess it would take into account both text size and 
export parameters for each paper.

Let me know what you think about it.
