matplotlib.pyplot.rc_context  
matplotlib.pyplot.rc_context(rc=None, fname=None) [source]
 
Return a context manager for managing rc settings. This allows one to do: with mpl.rc_context(fname='screen.rc'):
    plt.plot(x, a)
    with mpl.rc_context(fname='print.rc'):
        plt.plot(x, b)
    plt.plot(x, c)
 The 'a' vs 'x' and 'c' vs 'x' plots would have settings from 'screen.rc', while the 'b' vs 'x' plot would have settings from 'print.rc'. A dictionary can also be passed to the context manager: with mpl.rc_context(rc={'text.usetex': True}, fname='screen.rc'):
    plt.plot(x, a)
 The 'rc' dictionary takes precedence over the settings loaded from 'fname'. Passing a dictionary only is also valid. For example a common usage is: with mpl.rc_context(rc={'interactive': False}):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.plot(range(3), range(3))
    fig.savefig('A.png', format='png')
    plt.close(fig)
