publiplots.rcParams¶

publiplots.rcParams = <publiplots.themes.rcparams.PubliplotsRcParams object>¶

Unified interface for publiplots parameters.

Dict-like accessor for both standard matplotlib rcParams and publiplots-specific parameters. Mimics matplotlib’s rcParams but also exposes the custom keys listed in this module’s docstring (alpha, edgecolor, palette, hatch_mode, scatter.size_*, subplots.*). Use the module-level rcParams instance — don’t instantiate this class yourself.

Writes are routed automatically: publiplots keys update the publiplots store; everything else is delegated to matplotlib.pyplot.rcParams. Prefer publiplots.set_hatch_mode() for mutating hatch_mode so that validation runs.

Examples

Read parameters:

>>> import publiplots as pp
>>> axes_size = pp.rcParams['subplots.axes_size']
>>> color = pp.rcParams['color']  # publiplots-specific key

Set parameters:

>>> pp.rcParams['subplots.axes_size'] = (80, 50)  # mm
>>> pp.rcParams['color'] = '#ff0000'

Use with resolve_param() in a plotting function:

>>> from publiplots.themes.rcparams import resolve_param
>>> color = resolve_param('color', user_color)
