| ### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT | |
| # This is a sample matplotlib configuration file - you can find a copy | |
| # of it on your system in | |
| # site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc. If you edit it | |
| # there, please note that it will be overridden in your next install. | |
| # If you want to keep a permanent local copy that will not be | |
| # over-written, place it in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux | |
| # like systems) and C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib | |
| # (win32 systems). |
