<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Junhwan,<br></div><div><br></div><div style>You can set the font properties using the set_font function:</div><div style><br></div><div style><div>>>> slc = SlicePlot(pf, 'x', 'Density')</div>
<div style>>>> font_dict = {'family':'sans-serif', 'style':'italic',</div><div> 'weight':'bold', 'size':24}</div><div>>>> slc.set_font(font_dict)</div>
<div><br></div><div style>Here, font_dict is a dictionary of keywords that will be passed to the matplotlib FontProperties object for the plot. For more details about FontProperties, take a look at the matplotlib documentation: <a href="http://matplotlib.org/api/font_manager_api.html#matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties">http://matplotlib.org/api/font_manager_api.html#matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties</a></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>One caveat is that the axes labels use MathText which is tied to a special computer modern font that is bundled with matplotlib. For that reason, you will only be able to adjust the size of the axes labels, not the font.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Another caveat is that you cannot set the tick label color using set_font. Instead, you'll need to iterate over the actual tick label objects as in this example from the docs: <a href="http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/simple_plots.html?highlight=dinosaurs#accessing-and-modifying-plots-directly">http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/simple_plots.html?highlight=dinosaurs#accessing-and-modifying-plots-directly</a></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Finally, you'll need to set the font properties for the text annotation separately:<br></div><div style><br></div><div style>>>> <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">slc.annotate_text((-45,42.5), "a)", data_coords=False, text_args = font_dict)</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The text_args keyword of annoate_text does accept color as a keyword, so you'll be able to pass it in with font_dict.</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The full list of allowed keywords for text_args is on this page from the matplotlib docs: </span><font face="arial, sans-serif"><a href="http://matplotlib.org/users/text_props.html">http://matplotlib.org/users/text_props.html</a></font></div>
<div style><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style><font face="arial, sans-serif">Hope that's helpful. Sorry that's not as simple as it could be, this is one area of the plotting routines where it would be nice to simplify things.</font></div>
