Changing figure background color (through rcparams?)

Hi,

True enough, I didn't tested in a Notebook, but now it seems to work as
well:

(just a test with mpl.rcParams['axes.facecolor'] = 'red')

best,
Pierre

Thanks Pierre.

I tried this with several different color types and couldn't see any
difference in my plots in the notebook. Did you by chance try this
out and see a difference?

    I think that 'axes.facecolor' does the job.

    'figure.facecolor' changes the background of the figure outside the
    plots (axes), that is the background color of the windows (which
    is not
    visible in the Notebook).
