Here's another example from the matplotlib docs that sounds more like what you're looking for: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/customize_rc.html?highlight=set_pub I use something similar to the ``set_pub`` method in the comments of the example. I have a module ``plotstyle`` which has methods for ``presentation``, ``publication``, etc. and whenever I want a script to use a certain style I just add: >>> import plotstyle >>> plotstyle.presention() Best, -Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
