Re: [Matplotlib-users] Setting font family in ticks not possible. Bug?
More complete:
I tried all permunations of backends. Now I stick to PS, because I use
matplotlib from commandline with scripts. The environment is debian/etch
with a current version of matplotlib (self compiled).
Try this script
from pylab import *
t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
plot(t, s)
grid(True)
# matlab handle graphics style
xticklines = getp(gca(), 'xticklines')
yticklines = getp(gca(), 'yticklines')
xgridlines = getp(gca(), 'xgridlines')
ygridlines = getp(gca(), 'ygridlines')
xticklabels = getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
yticklabels = getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
setp(xticklines, 'linewidth', 3)
setp(yticklines, 'linewidth', 3)
setp(xgridlines, 'linestyle', '-')
setp(ygridlines, 'linestyle', '-')
setp(yticklabels, 'color', 'r', fontsize='medium')
setp(xticklabels, 'color', 'r', fontsize='medium', family='sans-serif')
savefig('axprops_demo')
**
On my system the line
setp(xticklabels, 'color', 'r', fontsize='medium', family='sans-serif')
doesn't change the font family.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Setting font family in ticks not possible. Bug?
Hi,
Thanks for all the replies! Of course it is not directly a bug. But
awkward. This is how I was finally able to change alle fonts and the
whole layout of the plot:
fig_width_pt = 246.0 # Get this from LaTeX using \showthe\columnwidth
inches_per_pt = 1.0/72.27 # Convert pt to inch
golden_mean = (sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio
fig_width = fig_width_pt*inches_per_pt # width in inches
fig_height = fig_width*golden_mean # height in inches
fig_size = [fig_width,fig_height]
params = {'backend': 'ps','axes.labelsize': 10,'text.fontsize':
10,'legend.fontsize': 10,'text.usetex':
True,'text.latex.preamble':[\usepackage{bm},\usepackage{textcomp}],
'figure.figsize': fig_size, 'font.family' : 'sans-serif', 'font.style':
'normal', 'font.weight':'normal',}
rcParams.update(params)
...
ffont = {'family':'sans-serif','fontsize':10,'weight':'bold'}
ax1=gca()
ax1.set_xticklabels(ax1.get_xticks(),ffont)
ax1.set_yticklabels(ax1.get_yticks(),ffont)
subplots_adjust(top=1-.13)
xticks(**ffont)
yticks(**ffont)
Best regards:

Do you use usetex? If you do, the mathtext is rendered using latex, and
latex renders mathtext in serif fonts.

[Matplotlib-users] Setting font family in ticks not possible. Bug?
Dear Mailinglist,
Today I tried to change the fontset to sans-serif for a whole plot.
Everything except the ticks could be adjusted.
This is what I tried first:
***
ffont = {'size':'20','family':'sans-serif'}
xticks(**ffont)
***
No change in the font family. But I can change the size without
problems. I removed the ~/.matplotlib/FONTCACHE stuff as described
here(2).
Following (1) I tried again to change the font using
***
import pylab
pylab.figure()
ax = pylab.axes()
ax.plot(pylab.arange(10))
xlabels = ax.get_xticklabels()
xlabel0 = xlabels[0] # one of the xtick
labels
xlabel0.get_fontsize()
xlabel0.set_fontsize(20)
pylab.show()
***
Again nothing changed.
Using ipython I got this:
***
In [192]: xlabels[0].get_fontname()
Out[192]: 'Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, serif'
In [195]: xlabels[0].set_family(sans-serif)
In [196]: xlabels[0].get_fontname()
Out[196]: 'Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, sans-serif'
In [197]: show()
***
Summary:
It appears to me like I can change the default fontfamily, but somehow
there is no change in the output.
What could be the problem?
Best regards:
Gerolf

Hmmm... This works for me. What backend are you using? Perhaps it
isn't updating? Also, do these two lines + show() alone not work, or is
it only in the context of something else?
Also, what platform are you on?
