I am trying to work out some way to make rcdefaults() work with the traited config. Along the way, I discovered this in mplconfig:
class mathtext(TConfig): cal = T.Trait("['cursive']", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) rm = T.Trait("['serif']", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) tt = T.Trait("['monospace']", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) it = T.Trait("['serif'], style='oblique'", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) bf = T.Trait("['serif'], weight='bold'", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) sf = T.Trait("['sans-serif']", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) use_cm = T.true fallback_to_cm = T.true I dont think that will work. One of the highlights of the new config files is that when a file says: [mathtext] rm = ['serif', 'sans-serif'] you actually get a list, not a string, to pass to mplT.FontPropertiesHandler(). I discovered the code by trying to do this: rcParams.update(rcParamsDefault) Another thing about T.Trait to keep in mind: T.Trait("['cursive']", mplT.FontPropertiesHandler()) "['cursive']" is the default value and is *not validated*. Nor is it necessarily an allowed value. For example: T.Trait('small', 'medium', 'large') 'small' is the default value, but any future attempt to set that trait to 'small' will fail. Only items following the default are allowed. T.Trait('small', 'small', 'medium', 'large') Now 'small' is a valid setting.
