The error is the 'size':'larger', not the passing as keyword arguments. Maybe you try to stick (as "workaround") with a fixed number, like 'size':12
It's located in matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py def validate_float(s): 'convert s to float or raise' try: return float(s) except ValueError: raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s) -> conversion of 'larger' to float fails, I don't know, maybe this should go through "validate_fontsize" instead of "validate_float"? Or, if failed in validate_floats, to validate_fontsize? Like def validate_float(s): 'convert s to float or raise' try: return float(s) or validate_fontsize() except ValueError: raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s) Regards, Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
