+### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT
+
+# This is a sample matplotlib configuration file. It should be placed
+# in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux like systems) and
+# C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib (win32 systems)
+#
+# By default, the installer will overwrite the existing file in the
+# install path, so if you want to preserve your's, please move it to
+# your HOME dir and set the environment variable if necessary.
+#
+# This file is best viewed in a editor which supports python mode
+# syntax highlighting
+#
+# Blank lines, or lines starting with a comment symbol, are ignored,
+# as are trailing comments. Other lines must have the format
+#
+# key : val # optional comment
+#
+# Colors: for the color values below, you can either use
+# - a matplotlib color string, such as r, k, or b
+# - an rgb tuple, such as (1.0, 0.5, 0.0)
+# - a hex string, such as ff00ff (no '#' symbol)
+# - a scalar grayscale intensity such as 0.75
+# - a legal html color name, eg red, blue, darkslategray

+
+### FONT
+#
+# font properties used by text.Text. See
+# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.font_manager.html for more
+# information on font properties. The 6 font properties used for font
+# matching are given below with their default values.
+#
+# The font.family property has five values: 'serif' (e.g. Times),
+# 'sans-serif' (e.g. Helvetica), 'cursive' (e.g. Zapf-Chancery),
+# 'fantasy' (e.g. Western), and 'monospace' (e.g. Courier). Each of
+# these font families has a default list of font names in decreasing
+# order of priority associated with them.
+#
+# The font.style property has three values: normal (or roman), italic
+# or oblique. The oblique style will be used for italic, if it is not
+# present.
+#
+# The font.variant property has two values: normal or small-caps. For
+# TrueType fonts, which are scalable fonts, small-caps is equivalent
+# to using a font size of 'smaller', or about 83%% of the current font
+# size.
+#
+# The font.weight property has effectively 13 values: normal, bold,
+# bolder, lighter, 100, 200, 300, ..., 900. Normal is the same as
+# 400, and bold is 700. bolder and lighter are relative values with
+# respect to the current weight.
+#
+# The font.stretch property has 11 values: ultra-condensed,
+# extra-condensed, condensed, semi-condensed, normal, semi-expanded,
+# expanded, extra-expanded, ultra-expanded, wider, and narrower. This
+# property is not currently implemented.
+#
+# The font.size property is the default font size for text, given in pts.
+# 12pt is the standard value.
+#
+font.family : serif
+font.style : Times New Roman
+#font.variant : normal
+#font.weight : medium
+#font.stretch : normal
+# note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure
+# special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc
+# settings for axes and ticks. Special text sizes can be defined
+# relative to font.size, using the following values: xx-small, x-small,
+# small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, or smaller
+#font.size : 12.0
+#font.size : 8
+font.size : 12.0
+#font.serif : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
+#font.serif : Times New Roman
+font.serif : computer modern roman
+#font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
+#font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
+#font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy
+#font.monospace : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace

+#text.usetex : False # use latex for all text handling. The following fonts
+text.usetex : True # use latex for all text handling. The following fonts
+ # are supported through the usual rc parameter settings:
+ # new century schoolbook, bookman, times, palatino,
+ # zapf chancery, charter, serif, sans-serif, helvetica,
+ # avant garde, courier, monospace, computer modern roman,
+ # computer modern sans serif, computer modern typewriter
+ # If another font is desired which can loaded using the

+ # matplotlib mailing list
+#text.latex.unicode : False # use "ucs" and "inputenc" LaTeX packages for handling
+ # unicode strings.

+ # IF THIS FEATURE DOES NOT DO WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO.
+ # preamble is a comma separated list of LaTeX statements
+ # that are included in the LaTeX document preamble.
+ # An example:
+ # text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{bm},\usepackage{euler}
+ # The following packages are always loaded with usetex, so

+ # 'plain': As plain, unformatted text

+ # formatted as a TeX math expression.
+ # This setting has no effect when text.usetex is True.
+ # In that case, all text will be sent to TeX for
+ # processing.
+
+# The following settings allow you to select the fonts in math mode.
+# They map from a TeX font name to a fontconfig font pattern.
+# These settings are only used if mathtext.fontset is 'custom'.
