update_style(interactive=None, colors=None, cmap=None, ncs=None, figsize=None, figratio=None, mode=None, style=None, ipython=None, true_black=None, latex=None, sf=None)

Update alternative matplotlib style.

This function updates specified parameters of use_style without changing other.

Parameters:

• interactive (bool, default: None ) –

  Set interactive mode.

• colors (string, default: None ) –

  Set the default color cycler from continuous or discrete maps. Use any of matplotlibs defaults or specified in the colors submodule.

• cmap (string, default: None ) –

  Set the default colormap.

• ncs (int, default: None ) –

  Number of colors if continuous cmap is selected.

• figsize (int or int tuple, default: None ) –

  Give size of default figure in inches, either as tuple (x, y) or a single float for the x-axis. The y-axis will be determined by figratio.

• figratio (str or float, default: None ) –

  Set ratio of figsize x:y to 1:1/'option', where 'option' is one of ['sqrt(2)', 'golden', 'sqrt(3)'] or any number. Golden stands for the golden ratio (1.618). This option is ignored if figsize is used with tuple.

• mode (str, default: None ) –

  One of the following modes: 'default': use matplotlib defaults 'beamer': extra large fontsize 'print': default sizes 'poster': for Din A0 posters

• style (str, default: None ) –

  One of the following styles: 'default': enables grid and upper and right spines 'minimal': removes all unneeded lines 'none': no changes to style

• ipython (bool, default: None ) –

  Deactivate high-res in jpg/png for compatibility with IPyhton, e.g. jupyter notebook/lab.

• true_black (bool, default: None ) –

  If true black will be used for labels and co., else a dark grey.

• latex (bool, default: None ) –

  If true LaTeX font will be used.

• sf (bool, default: None ) –

  Use sans-serif font for text and latex math environment.
