### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT

# This is a sample matplotlib configuration file.  It should be placed
# in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux like systems) and
# C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib (win32 systems)
#
# By default, the installer will overwrite the existing file in the
# install path, so if you want to preserve your's, please move it to
# your HOME dir and set the environment variable if necessary.
#
# 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  (no '#' symbol)
#  - a scalar grayscale intensity such as 0.75
#  - a legal html color name, eg red, blue, darkslategray

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

### FONT
#
# font properties used by text.Text.  See
# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.font_manager.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.style          : normal
font.variant        : 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

savefig.edgecolor : white    # figure edgecolor when saving

# tk backend params
tk.window_focus   : False    # Maintain shell focus for TkAgg
tk.pythoninspect  : False    # tk sets PYTHONINSEPCT

# ps backend params
ps.papersize      : A4   # auto, letter, legal, ledger, A0-A10, B0-B10
ps.useafm         : False    # use of afm fonts, results in small files

ps.distiller.res  : 6000      # dpi

# pdf backend params
pdf.compression   : 6 # integer from 0 to 9
		      # 0 disables compression (good for debugging)

# Set the verbose flags.  This controls how much information
# matplotlib gives you at runtime and where it goes.  Ther verbosity
# levels are: silent, helpful, debug, debug-annoying.  Any level is
# inclusive of all the levels below it.  If you 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
