Here is what I did: Put a 00_matplotlib_rc.py in ipython's profile_default/startup folder (you might need to run ipython profile create, or ipython profile locate to create/find them), and in the file specify my matplotlib rc parameters. For example:
import matplotlib as mpl # Figure formatting mpl.rcParams['savefig.dpi'] = 300 mpl.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (3.27, 3.27) # Font setting mpl.rcParams['mathtext.default'] = 'regular' mpl.rcParams['font.family'] = ['sans-serif'] mpl.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['Arial'] mpl.rcParams['font.size'] = 8 mpl.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42 mpl.rcParams['ps.fonttype'] = 42 # Line properties mpl.rcParams['lines.linewidth'] = 1. mpl.rcParams['lines.markersize'] = 4 # Legends mpl.rcParams['legend.frameon'] = False mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 8 mpl.rcParams['legend.handlelength'] = 3 # Subplot frame line mpl.rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = .5 I would be happy to know if there's a better/different way to do it.
