Setting `axes.linewidth` without changing the `rcParams` global dict
- by mlvljr
So, it seems one cannot do the following (it raises an error, since axes does not have a set_linewidth method):
axes_style = {'linewidth':5}
axes_rect = [0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9]
axes(axes_rect, **axes_style)
and has to use the following old trick instead:
rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = 5 # set the value globally
... # some code
rcdefaults() # restore [global] defaults
Is there an easy / clean way (may be one can set x- and y- axes parameters individually, etc)?
P.S. If no, why?
