Location matplotlibrc file on my Mac

Hey everyone,

The existence of the matplotlibrc file is one reason I like MPL so much. I won't go into the convoluted work flow I had for getting my MATLAB figures completely processed in TeX, but it was nasty.

On my Windows machine, I've used it with great success. But I can't get my Mac (OS 10.5) to see it at all. I've put it in my current working directory, in /Library/Frameworks/.../mpl_data, and in /Users/paul. I've confirmed that those directories are in my sys.path variable as well. Nothing seems to work.

Mac OS 10.5
Python 2.6.2
MPL 0.99.1

Any advice?

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

I think your matplotlibrc file should be put in: /Users/paul/.matplotlib
