[Matplotlib-devel] Changing rcParams locally, on the fly

[Benjamin Root]

There is the context manager approach, but it must be utilized prior to
axes creation. For the most part, any usage of the rcParams happen at
creation time of the relevant artist. So, while you could update the color
cycle prior to creating an axes but after the figure creation, changing the
default figure size would be useless at that point since the figure is
already made.

There might be some push in the future to defer rcParam evaluation closer
to draw time (traitlet integration), but I wouldn't bet on it happening any
time soon, and it probably wouldn't do what you need in any case.
