Hi Chris, Someone else that knows better than me can correct me, but it looks like all of the matplotlib imports happen in yt/visualization/_mpl_imports.py. The only configuration is this line: matplotlib.rc('contour', negative_linestyle='solid') which changes the default linestyle for contour plots. Other than that, if you use the Agg backend, you should be able to produce plots that look like yt plots. I believe yt uses the default fonts and matplotlib colortables (except for the ones in yt/visualization/_colormap_data.py. If you're trying to make publication quality plots, you may want to take a look at the EPS writer that John Wise wrote (yt/visualization/eps_writer.py) which leverages pyx to make really nice native postscript plots, or look at the various plot types (e.g. the RavenPlot in yt/visualization/plot_types.py). Personally, if I have to make consistent looking plots, I'd like to be in complete control so I use FixedResolutionBuffers and custom matplotlib scripts. Hope that helps! -Nathan On Apr 28, 2012, at 6:59 PM, Christopher Moody wrote:
Hi all, Aesthetically, it'd be nice to make matplotlib plots with a consistent style as yt-made plots so that fonts, sizes, color palettes and so on agree. I imagine that this means I have to find yt's default matplotlib rc, or something analogous, somewhere.
Many thanks for the help! chris _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users@lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org
