Greetings! I am new to matplotlib and python, and encountered a general problem:
If i try to customize matplotlibrc, nothing changes. I changed the right thing:
When i try
import matplotlib
matplotlib.matplotlib_fname()
I get 'C:\\Python25\lib\\site-packages\\matplotlib\\mpl-data\\matplotlibrc'
(as you see I'm in windows..)
When I f.e. change
#xtick.labelsize : 14 (from '12')
#xtick.direction : out (from 'in')
nothing changes at all. My program starts with 'import matplotlib.pyplot as plt', so
that actually matplotlibrc should be in use.. I tried to change other things in
\\matplotlib aswell, they were all ignored. I must have missed something very basic..
What did i miss?

I guess that would be the "#" which declares everything behind as a comment.
Does it work when you remove the #?
Best,
Sebastian.
By default, all lines are commented out. You must remove the leading
'#" symbol to see your changes take effect

Uncomment the lines.
#xtick.labelsize : 14
#xtick.direction : out
to
xtick.labelsize : 14
xtick.direction : out
