in your jmkfile.py you should have
from pylab import *

Hi All,
Sorry to ask a dumb python newbie question, but the problem arose while reading
the matplotlib documentation, and an hour or so on the internet didnt' help, so
I felt it was fair-ish game to post here.
In http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/customize_rc.html
it says:
"""
If you like to work interactively, and need to create different sets
of defaults for figures (eg one set of defaults for publication, one
set for interactive exploration), you may want to define some
functions in a custom module that set the defaults, eg
def set_pub():
rc('font', weight='bold') # bold fonts are easier to see
Then as you are working interactively, you just need to do
set_pub()
"""
Which I thought was great, because I'd like to have some presets for different
journals. However, saving the def into a file (jmkfigure.py) and calling
from jmkfigure import *
set_pub()
yields the error: "NameError: global name 'rc' is not defined"
I tried importing matplotlib and rc into jmkfigure.py, but to no avail.
I appreciate this is a scoping issue with python, but I can't figure out how to
set rc from within an external module.
Thanks for any help,
Cheers, Jody
