According to the docs the rc function is supposed to be able to do the same thing as editing matplotlibrc. I tried doing rc('font', size=20) and several variations of that invoked at several different places in my file, and it seemed to have no effect. Did I do it wrong? Does rc() not really work as advertised? Something completely different?
