Hey everyone,

I wanted to highlight Matthew Emmett's (memmett) PR in progress [1] that
brings the ability to switch between rcParams.

Matthew's implementation started with just being able to read in and use
an rcParam file, and I suggested the idea of having a context manager,
that would allow you to do something like:

  with rc_context(fname):
      plt.plot()
      ...

and have the rcParams restored outside of the context.

I know there have been a few threads (can't find links now for some
reason) and in-person discussions in the past about having this kind of
ability in matplotlib, and having an idea of "styles", and Tony Yu
implemented a variant of this on top of matplotlib in mpltools [2], but
I wanted to ping the list here for other ideas and feelings about such
functionality (if anyone can find pointers to previous discussions, that
would be very welcome).

2. https://github.com/tonysyu/mpltools

best,
