I believe yt uses the default fonts and matplotlib colortables (except for the ones in yt/visualization/_colormap_data.py. If you're trying to make publication quality plots, you may want to take a look at the EPS writer that John Wise wrote (yt/visualization/eps_writer.py) which leverages pyx to make really nice native postscript plots, or look at the various plot types (e.g. the RavenPlot in yt/visualization/plot_types.py).</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, if I have to make consistent looking plots, I'd like to be in complete control so I use FixedResolutionBuffers and <a href="https://bitbucket.org/ngoldbaum/diskdyn_yt">custom matplotlib scripts</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps!</div><div><br></div><div>-Nathan</div><br><div><div>On Apr 28, 2012, at 6:59 PM, Christopher Moody wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi all,<br>Aesthetically, it'd be nice to make matplotlib plots with a consistent<br>style as yt-made plots so that fonts, sizes, color palettes and so on<br>agree.
