Default values and styling

.. py:data:: rcParams :type: RcParams

The global configuration settings for Matplotlib.

This is a dictionary-like variable that stores the current configuration settings. Many of the values control styling, but others control various aspects of Matplotlib's behavior.

See :doc:/users/explain/configuration for a full list of config parameters.

See :ref:customizing for usage information.

Notes

This object is also available as plt.rcParams via the matplotlib.pyplot module (which by convention is imported as plt).
