hi all,
two quick questions about plotting: i am trying to very simply reset the
font family to be 'helvetica' for my figure, in particular for the
ticklabels. i have tried using the following:
def axes_square(plot_handle):
plot_handle.axes.set_aspect(1/plot_handle.axes.get_data_ratio())
rcParams['font.family'] = 'Helvetica'
p = matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties()
p.set_family('Helvetica')
x = rand(20)
ax = plot(x, x, 'bo', markeredgecolor='blue', mfc='none')
axes_square(p)
but it does not work. i tried similarly setting the font size (with
set_size() or through rcParams) but it did not work either. how can i do
this? i'd like to do this either on per axes basis, or for the entire
figure.
second, how can i make it so axes labels do not overlap? in many plots,
including ones in the gallery, you see the labels at the origin of plots get
too close to each other. (i.e. the 0.0 of x-axis and 0.0 of y-axis) - how
can you prevent this from happening?
thank you!
