Have you tried setting the `LC_ALL` to `en_US` before starting up Python?

Yes, I've tried this :
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'en_US')
mpl.rcParams['axes.formatter.use_locale'] = True

But it has no effect.

Have you tried setting this value to True?

Hi all,

I would like to know how to set locale settings for matplotlib.
When I use the plot_date function, labels are in french (my system's
default locale). I would like english. I tried to set locale and it works
ok with strftime :

import locale
print(locale.getlocale())
('fr_FR', 'UTF-8')
mydate=dates.datetime.date(1950,1,15)
mydate.strftime('%A %d %B %Y')
Out[19]: 'dimanche 15 janvier 1950'


locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'en_US')
Out[21]: 'en_US'
mydate.strftime('%A %d %B %Y')
Out[22]: 'Sunday 15 January 1950'


But this has no effect on the plot_date results...

In my mpl.rcParams, 'axes.formatter.use_locale' is set to False.

How can I set locale configuration for matplotlib ?

Any advice welcome !

Thank you !

Clement

Hi Pierre, 

Thanks for asking on the ML for me :-) 

I dived into the code and came up with a PR (link at the end)
In short, in the constructor of Ticks , self.gridOn is set to the value of rcParam.axes.grid regardless 
of wether the Ticks is Major or Minor.

I proposed one fix, but I'm not sure it is the right one and will wait for feedback.
Also My PR will probably conflict with a bigger one so I suppose I won't be in the priority list.

Thanks,
