I have these matplotlibrc files:

/etc/matplotlibrc
/home/andres/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
/home/andres/.sage/matplotlibrc
/usr/local/sage-4.6/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-
data/matplotlibrc

I think that the only one that is valid in sage is the last one,  /usr/
local/sage-4.6/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/
matplotlibrc, this is what I did

I used a different linestyle in each of the matplotlibrc files:

lines.linestyle   :  --            # different for each matplotlibrc
file
lines.color        :  yellow     # same in all matplotlibrc files

And then checked a plot to see what linestyle it had:

sage: plot(x,x,0,5)

The linestyle was the one in /usr/local/sage-4.6/local/lib/python2.6/
site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc, however the color was
blue instead of yellow!
(I also checked with various linestyles in that file to see that the
process was independent of the linestyle used.)
