To get xkcd font working, we can use plt.xkcd() to turn on sketch-style drawing mode.
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create x and y data points using numpy.
- Use plt.xkcd() to turn on sketch-style drawing mode.
- Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
- Add an axis to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement.
- Plot x and y data points using plot() method.
- Place a text and title on the plot.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
x = np.arange(10)
y = np.sin(x)
plt.xkcd()
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.text(4, 4, '(4, 4)', size=16)
plt.title('Y=sin(x)')
plt.show()Output
