To set local rcParams or rcParams for one figure in matplotlib, we can take the following steps −
Steps
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Initialize a variable N to store the number of sample data.
Create x and y data points using numpy.
Return a context manager for temporarily changing rcParams.
Add a subplot to the current figure, at index 1.
Plot the x and y data points, using plot() method.
Add a subplot to the current figure, at index 2.
Plot the x and y data points, using plot() method.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import pandas as pd import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True N = 10 x = np.random.rand(N) y = np.random.rand(N) with plt.rc_context({"axes.grid": True, "grid.linewidth": 0.75, "lines.linestyle": 'dashed'}): plt.subplot(121) plt.plot(x, y) plt.subplot(122) plt.plot(x, y) plt.show()
Output
It will produce the following output −
